lol, threads on this site always end up in arguments, if there was a golfgti.com meet it would turn into a full scale riot!
anyway im shocked that not 1 person has said check the wiring behind the gaitors when you open the door, The wires always break and become dodgy! so worth a look

It still all sounds like iffy alrm wiring to me, the cooling fan runs on for a little while after the car is switched off so i'm guessing the alarm would need to be connected to it in some way to avoid the voltage drop tripping the alarm.

theres a SIGMA alarm just behind the battery,ive checked but cant for the life of me see where its wired too, i dont have a fob for it anyway,
gonna see if i can rope my uncle into giving me a hand today

I would say, if it's possible to fully disconnect and islolate the alarm from the main loom this would be a good move, but old cars and diy wiring are a minefield as i'm sure you know.

As a last resort work around it might be easier to go down the manual window route and wire in a simple switch for the cooling fan, it would keep the car on the road and avoid chopping the loom up too much.
