    Flat battery

    Might sound like a daft question but is the red triangle on the fog light switch supposed to flash every 3 seconds once the car is locked? The reason I ask is my battery was completely flat a couple of weeks ago and I'm not sure if I've got a drain somewhere or if my girlfriend left something on after using it

    Cheers Paul

    Yes, that's normal, its the factory Alarm / immobiliser.

      easy way around it is the oem alarm only arms if you are locking the car by the drivers side door key, if you have an aftermarket key fob, don't use the key in the door

        Thanks for replies, I'm pretty sure that everything is okay and that there's no drain,I think someone left interior light on

          I deaded mine with the boot light, the interior lights are on a timer so go off after a minute or so but in mine, the boot light seems to have a mind of its own. More than likely down to the alarm install

          New battery and the car starts telepathically, it is a 77Ah Bosch Silver though
