    So, having parked my car in a secure car park, a work colleague advised me my alarm was going off, so, i went to reset it, when i got there the red LED was flashing as normal, but, when i unlocked the car the LED continued to flash :(
    Does anyone know exactly what attempt has to be made on the MINI to make the alarm perform like that :question:

    I'm not 100% but isn't it the movement sensor being set off?

    I had mine going off randomly a while back. turn out I had that fault with the door locks tho, that made the windows open and shut (to the 'door open'position) by themselves. That was enough to set it off...
    Something to check?
