HELP! Alarm problem!

[richard ellison]

battery went flat last week due to me leaving the lights on  

since then the alarms been playing up...

after it went flat the alarm wouldnt sound, even if you set it off...

yesterday it needed a jumpstart cause it didnt have enough juice in the battery...

and now the keyfob doesnt work!!!

its a clifford concept 50....

anyone? might try and change the battery in keyfob, but not sure if they need to be paired in any way?

richard if your still in crawley try lethal alloys for help with the alarm next to the imperial pub in broadfield.

their really helpful, but will rip u off if they can get away with it (not as bad as road radio tho  ) so tell them ur from the crawley cruise site for a discount  :-[  and dont mention me  

if anyone knows of anywhere that can still thatcham approve cobras id really appreciate it

hey vix, as i understand it.. any thatcham certified alarm fitter can do you a certificate up. when i first got my car i had to do this for the Toad one it has... as i got no docs with it.    
i got it done at a local clifford place since there isnt a local toad one.
whether they will do it for you or not is another matter.. cost me about 35 quid.

all sorted now- new batt in remote and  had a jump start to get the battery up to full power.

Know what u mean about lethal alloys- charged me ?25 to fit my stereo!

Did have a problem with a split water pipe this morning on the way to work! Smoke was pouring out of the bonnet- properly cacked meself!

Should be sorted my a garage by this avo fingers crossed

well i tried one of the local thatcham approved guys yesterday and they said they are allowed to remove it but not test it or repair it.

apparently cobra went bust several times and therefore no one is trained to fit them anymore. to be honest tho, like i said in the post for richard the guys round here are renowned for ripping u off,  i think they just want me to buy a new alarm.  thats a pain because mine works fine but needs that gold dust certificate for the insurance company.  

i might make some phonecalls further afield today

good luck phoning around vix

that guy must have been talking arse.. coz like I said, I got that company here to do exactly that. I ended up with a letter explaining it had been tested by an approved installer on their headed paperwork. my insurance (privilege) were fine with that.

luckily i have a really good outfit down here who fit clifford alarms + ICE stuff.. and happen to be VW/Audi specialists too! they have all my needs covered!
