Alarming
My 2000 td5 has been brilliant but the alarm has started going off irregularly and i am finding it diffiicult to trace if it is a current leakage from the door contacts or the interior sensors.

I suppose I could tape over the volumetric sensors to se if that helps or is there an easier way to disable them?

I have the aftermarket central locking (wasnt available in 2000!) wired in to the alarm to use the alarm to trigger the locking. Could I totally disable the alarm in some way but keep the alarm fob to trigger the central locking?

Cheers
Trevor

Pull ultrasonic sensor from head lining (it just unclips). Unplug the unit and it will no longer trigger the alarm. No setting changes required to disable it. Just make sure you dont loose the woring behind the headlining in case you want to reconnect it.

The door contacts are prone to deterioration, so I'd clean or replace them as a matter of course. They are only cheap.

As above, just unplug the volumetric sensor and see how it goes.

Hopefully you have other layers that will but your mind at rest whilst you trace the fault.

I did the same mod on mine, when you lock the drivers door with your key it locks all the doors but the immobilizer and volumetric system is not activated. I use this when I leave my dog in the car for a few minutes. Also we don't have the rampant Defender theft issue over here.
