94 306 TD alarm starting when opening the car

Hi,

We bought a second hand 94 306 DT a few months back. The key fob mechanism to activate the central locking etc is broken so we simply open/close the car by the key itself. Recently however the alarm starts by itself when we open the door and i have no clue what is doing this or how to go about fixzing it or at least disabling it until we find the problem.

The only thnig thats happened recently is the battery probably needs changing soon as the car has started to struggle to start (you can tell the battery is going flat as the starter motor sounds very laborious now)

Any clues on this or how to disable it?

Does it have the button on the side of the steering column shroud that looks a bit like [(c-] ? If it does, open the door put the key in the ignition, switch on and press the button within a few seconds.
