OK heres the story :
Last night got home from work, dashed in to the house as the wife had an appointment.
At about 21:30 when the wife returned I realised that I hadnt folded the mirrors so I went out, to find that non of the key buttons worked.
Right, flat battery, so went a got the spares (both other sets) and still nothing.
Put the key in the lock and WHAM alarm.
Puzzled came into the house and tried the trusted fountain of knowledge (the LOC forum) only be suprised by the amount of other people who had suffered the same problem.
A few of the treads stated that it just put itself right, and others suggested jumping in starting the car and hoping the alarm reset itself after 10 secs.
So this morning 6:30 went out and still nothing on any of the keys.
So much to the neigbours delight jumped in and luckily 10 or so seconds later (felt like a lot longer) the alarm stopped screaming and I set off to work.
I got to work with the intension of calling the dealers when they got to work, but low and behold the car locked and openned and relocked etc without a problem !!!!!
Right eventually (I hear you say) is the question to any of you guys and gals who have had a similar experience , can I expect this to be a one off or once it's happened does it continue to happen and is there an underlying problem which needs fixing ?
