oh ok, drilling rivets out isn't too bad.

I guess i'm going to have to tackle this at some point.  You would have thought for such a common issue this should be a recall issue.

Neighbours must think im a weirdo  :P
Atleast I can confirm mine works

Shoved a fuse in mins and still nothing, looks like the fuse box doesn't have the metal terminals behind where the fuse goes in if that makes sence?

Spoke to #@*&ing soon...

Last night the beep had stopped working - then the same this morning.

But just about to pull into cobham and the alarm starts going off....as I'm driving  :confused:

Got to work and the beeps obviously work as well now....ears are ringing - damn that things loud.

Now I get the feeling I'm going to have to take this to the stealers.  :confused:

So taking out interior fuse 35 will stop alarm working? Will it effect anything else?

Well I was told it was Fuse35 which is a 5Amp fuse controls the Alarm horn, I didn't have a fuse in this socket so stuck one in and still nothing for me so maybe try removing it for you to stop the alarm horn?

Will do.....livid as at work i don't have a car space as i'm a contractor but asked to park there (usually half empty) as I had to disconnect the battery so it doesn't keep going off but can't lock the car...Secuirty guard was arsey though I followed someone else in.

He then goes crying to the receptionist who asks me to remove my car - told her the problem and she said it was unfair to people who have spaces............

I then called her back to say I'll move it in 5 minutes so I can tell the PM I have to go and get this sorted so she goes to HR and asks them to tell me to move it....

F*&king jobsworth

Thinking about taking the siren out and leaving it as is....spent far too much on the car 4 months already and TPS want £100 for a new siren and it might not even be that.

Rant over...

I replaced the alarm siren on mine not so long ago and its a simple job with the right tools.....but......here's what I learnt.

Once you take off the wheel liner, you DO have to drill out the rivets that hold it on. It's held in a metal carrier.

You need 6.4mm rivets! and unless you are The Hulk you will also need a Lazy Tongue Riveter. It was a pain getting these rivets but I have a bag of them now. You will need 2 of them.

The alarm siren is about £90 from TPS. It's simply a plug and play component.

I hope this helps. :happy2:
