Mk1 GTI Cabby crazy electrics. Anyone help?

Does this car have an aftermarket alarm fitted?

Yes but not sure on the make/model. The door's had a mind of their own last night.

this was where my troubles started, a badly wired clifford concept 50.. it took over the car!... if you have checked all the earths, especially the ones that should be plugged into the earth crowns by the fusebox then i would start investigating the wiring that the alarm has spliced into.  it will be wired to the door locks, lights etc???

Cheers for the info. She got the car from Rugby so quite close to you. The guy is apparently a dub addict so he might well be on one of the forums

very close to me!..... i take it there were no issues pointed out at point of purchase..... well i seriously recommend trying to find out the make/model of the alarm and see if it has a feature to disable it to see if a lot of your issues go away... then again, if the wiring for it is pants then that might make no difference... might be worth dropping the fuse box and look at the condition of any spliced wires and putting bad ones right...
