Alarm Quirk?
on a new Defender 90 have an odd alarm quirk.

Disarm the alarm on the key fob, climb in , key in ignition and start the engine and the alarm beeps just one.

It does not do every time.

Any suggestion folks, before take it back to the dealership.

Shouldn't do that, shouldn't be any alarm or horn noises once unlocked for any reason.

Mine beeps if the alarm has activated (I think) or maybe a door open (but I'd expect this on locking, not unlock) TD5 Defender 90

Mine has done that a couple of times Brendan and I put it down to the battery having less than a full charge, as it happened after over a week of non use... Whistle

There are a couple of peripherals that require permanent connection, and continue to draw on the battery after switch off... Rolling Eyes

Truck starts okay, so the battery is not flat, just not full charge, but does do the weird single alarm tone after such periods... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Could it be that you're catching the remote buttons as you turn the key? I've done that before now, and when I've lent my keys to people I've had some disarm the alarm, go to unlock the door and re-arm the alarm whilst turning the key so they set the alarm off.
