I would say give the battery a proper slow charge overnight off the car.....and see if it improves (I guess the alarm has flattened the battery and my old gti was the same but a good recharge and it was 100% again...lasted 2 years + like this before i sold the car.)

i'd say sounds like the battery is pretty screwed... new one. recharging old ones doesn't always work very well...  :undecided:

after spending an hour and mayb 2 hours going through erer last night and reading up on other people prblems i think it might also be the central locking pump as it make alot of noise and also wont unlock all doors even with the key in the door lock some times...it also carries on making a noise (the few time it does work) after unlocking the doors anyone reckon this sounds right!?
