HELP!
I am having a major problem with the alarm and immobiliser system on my 940 SE.
Is there anyway to bypass the system, and if so how?

I had an intermittent problem with range, seemed like a bad contact on the aeial but never really tracked it down. Could also have been key fob batteries which have now been replaced, even though both key fobs failed to work. It hasn't occured again. Possibly also could have been wetness from the leaky sunroof, also now fixed.
During the problem I found the car more receptive near the RHS wing indicator, and with the car unlock and alarm going under the dash. (UK / right hand drive).
One time I couldn't get the alarm off and Volvo gave me some waffly instruction to remove 2 fuses, but the main thing I found was to disconnect the sounder on the front left suspension dome, and disconnect and reconnect the battery. This allowed the car to be used, as the immobiliser can't know if the engine is on or not and musn't immobilise in this case as it would be dangerous. I think the hazards were going but stopped eventually.
