It could be that the sensors are disabled in the settings part of the alarm menu in the ECU. I don't do many alarm faults on freelanders so can be exact. But it could be possible.

My DII one works, at least it did when one of the children was messing about getting out so was threatened with being locked in. I did, they moved, alarm went off, unlocked the car, they got out double quick, haven't had to use that threat since...

...and Dave Liquorice spake unto the tribes of Usenet, saying...

Stopped for petrol in the DII once, with the dog on the back. Went to pay and out of habit locked the doors and set the alarm. Just got the credit card out and the alarm went off. Spent at least a minute thinking "what tw@t has set his car alarm off", then realised it was me, or rather the hooligan. Hands full of cards and receipts, car keys in inaccessible pocket, fumble fumble, scatter scatter, then click and silence. Dog hasn't recovered yet.

Isn't that just b****y typical. Mine goes off all the time - in the middle of the night, when it's parked at work and whenever it just feels like it -sometimes when I get in and start the engine. Bet it won't go off if someone breaks a window though. TonyB

Bummer that. Was hoping for a simple explanation but can't think of one now.

Good luck with catching who ever is responsible / any claim.

The thing that bloody annoys me is I'm stood there at 6am, ankle deep in glass and the little dash LED is blinking away as if to say "Dont worry sir, your car is safe"

I know the alarm has worked in the past cos I've accidentaly locked the car when a passenger has been sat inside and its set it off.
