ok, well checked and cleaned the fuses on top of the battery. No joy.

Topher thanks for the offer. Where are you based?

don't be! Any tips are good tips. Even if it doesn't solve this problem it's worth noting for the future.

Oh, should add that while I was tinkering I got the auto window rollup working (hold key in lock position) so one less thing to worry about!

  good point

Well after lots of trial and error it's time to head to the dealership.
Booked in for diagnostics tomorrow. I'll let you all know what the result is.

Car is at the dealers now. The chap who took it in seems to think it will be an easy fix, so I hope he is right. Fingers crossed!

Ok, so picked the car up and paid the fee for the diagnostic checks. Seems that the convenience ECU is knackered and needs replacing.
They quoted £365 including fitting. Does this sound like the culprit and if so is that a good price?

The unit is expensive brand new but its a ten minute job to fit it

Its under the steering wheel trim - get the part number and start looking on Ebay for a replacement

Awesome. Ordered the part and now all sorted. Feel so much better and now I don't annoy the neighbours by setting the alarm off when I'm slow in the morning.

Also decided to fit aero wiper blades up front. Rear to follow soon.

Thanks all for your help.

While swapping the blades I noticed the little circular holes in the black windscreen border. Anybody know what they are for?

Cheers
