Locking and alarming?
Lights have stopped flashing three times when locked with the fob. The alarm has gone off a number of times during the night which has been unnerving. What could this be indicative of other than some scote trying to steal it.

Does it honk when you lock it?

If you have access to a suitable diagnostic tool you can read from the 10AS unit which sensor or sensors triggered the most recent alarms. My suspicion is that the bonnet switch may not be working properly resulting in a mislock and alarm activation, or something like that.

I would not necessarily assume that someone has tampered, it's more likely to be down to LR's legendary reliability!

Happened to me and it was the bonnet switch as black wolf said. A little bend upwards on the Mount and a lump of blue tack on the top of the switch to raise the profile (!) fixed it for me over a year ago and still fine.

Just open the bonnet , depress the switch and try locking the car and see what happens.
If it’s not that one work your way round all the switches on the doors, easy 5 minute check.
