    Hello, I can't get my alarm to switch on. The car will lock via the key fob but the red status light does not come on when the car is locked. Any ideas on how I can begin to trouble shoot the problem? The car is only used once a week and I have recently charged the battery.

    I have a e88 I have recently been doing some work on a faulty actuator, it looks like it’s led to a faulty alarm, the alarm won’t set when I lock doors, I’m not sure whether it’s down to me having door panels off as they contain a inclination alarm antenna on the e88. Is there any sort of reset...

    I wonder if the good people here can help me (and my neighbours') sanity? After a period of being laid up while I was out of work I'm now readying my 840 for a new MoT and treating it to new tyres, wheel refurb and one or two other items to make it legit again. Anyway, to cut to the chase I'm...
