51-Plate Berlingo alarm going off

Post by MikeT »

Neighbours Berlingo - he reported via text - "Alarm goes off when I open door or start engine HELP"

First search of google shows this isn't a common issue so before I can get the Lexia on it, wondering if anyone knows of particular weakpoints - or has he simply not shut his back door or bonnet (etc) properly as he's had the van a while now and this is first occurence that I know of?

No ideas except to question him very closely to see if he's changed anything at all recently.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

He's not one to mess with his vehicles, even if it's all falling apart around his ears lol.

Given the symptoms I've got a horrible feeling he's got an aftermarket alarm fitted.
