My car has the standard rover alarm (fitted on rover 200s/400s etc and late minis) i was wanting to wire the hazards to flash once/twice for alarm set/un set. is there any way of doing this easily. The alarm does already flash indicators when it is set off, so surely this isnt such a big job. anyone any ideas or info? cheers Ryan Shaw
Maybe I've missed the point in your post but my mini has a standard rover alarm and the indicators/hazards flash 3 times when it sets and once when it disarms.
Both of the Rover minis I've had did the same thing so I always assumed it was a standard set up.
Are you saying that yours doesn't flash at all or that you want to change the number of times it flashes?
My current car is a 1999 Cooper S, previous one was a 1994 Cooper, both with standard electrics.
I'm pretty sure that the indicators should flash when the alarm is set / disabled. Strange enough, I can't find any reference to it in the owners handbook though.
I doubt you'll be able to find a Rover dealer kicking about who is likely to be much help with getting info on something like this. Your best bet would be to a decent Mini specialist.
There are a few about in the North but personally I use Minimaster in Penrith. They have helped me out with quite a lot of work and are a very friendly bunch. No, I'm not on commission, but was very greatful when a previously 'unfixable' engine management fault (so the dealer thought) was resolved in a couple of hours with some good old fashioned mechanic diagnosis......
I'm sod all use with electrics once it gets past the 'check the battery, check the earth, check the fuse stage'.......
