Over the summer I started having problems with my alarm, as in I would start my car up and my alarm would come on. And I'd have to disconnect the battery to shut it up - my key didn't stop it. I don't have any of copiesof the key to disable the alarm or immobiliser and Renault were crap when it came to trying to hold of some - my local dealer didn't know what I was on about. In the end it gradually stopped doing it and I kinda forgot about it. But in the last few days it's started doing it again.
Now the thing is I think the alarm might actually be switched off already, my indicators don't flash when I lock it and it seems like it can't be set off by anything (apart from turning over the engine :? )
So I don't really know what I'm meant to do about it, Renault have said they'll kindly charge me £300 plus vat to do something like disconnect it (yeah, like thats worth the money!)
Does anybody know why this might be happening, would it be ok for me just to disconnect the siren? And if it is ok to disconnect it, how would I do it?!?!? :D
Also companies that fit alarms and stuff say they won't touch the factory fitted alarm!
