i been advised to post my problem in ere in hope to get a better responce so ere goes:)

 

i have just copied and pasted what i wrote in newbies section just hope someone can offer some advice as the supra is now alarm free at the moment. and neighbours aint happy with us.

it decided to throw a wobbly at 3.05am on a sunday morning and pressing the fob to unlock and re lock did nothing it continued to scream its socks off for nearly 2 hrs only stopping every 4 mins for a 10 second delay , each time it paused i was thinking yes its stopped but sure enough it started screaming its nutz off again,i checked all the windows boot bonnet and air vents couldnt find any reason for it go crazy like it had .

 

might i add ere paul slept thru it all until i rudley woke him !

we had to eventually remove car from the drive and drive it to the middle of nowhere so not to disturb neighbours anymore as there was serious curtain twitching going on lol.

after playing wiv fob and alarm etc for best part of an hour in middle of no where we decided to brave it and park back on drive. but neither of us dare lock it up just incase it went crazy again so we just put CCTV on her and went back to bed.

 

took supra out mid morning to get fuel only for it to throw a wobbly again

shishh its amazing how fast folk go from drooling over your car to giving you strange looks when your car screaming its nutz off. after a couple of phone calls we managed to track my big brother down to come and kill it!!!!

we had to resort to cutting the wire to the alarm unit . but then we wasnt sure after cutting wire if it would put immobiliser in permanent dead mode. but thankfully the car did start and we was able to drive her home.

now we both anxious incase anything else is liable to go off on her at daft o clock . i dont think neighbours will be happy at all should anything else wake them . i can see the funny side of it now but i must admit i didnt at 3am this morning.

 

we know with all cars you get teething problems but wasnt expecting it to be so loud .least it proven one thing that the alarm and immobiliser dont work on the same circuit. we are both really shocked we could get car started and drive it when the alarm was going off.

 

 

HELP AND ADVICE is now needed what after market alarms does everyone have on there cars good and bad please share as much imfo as possible as we need to get the silver beast fully protected again ASAP.

thank you in advance for any advice to be given
