Land Rover Discovery Series 2
Mick
My Discovery on an 'X' Plate 2001 has developed this annoying habit of
sounding the alarm at about 0130ish, for no reason. It is parked on our
driveway and the only thing we can think of is a lorry is going by causing
it to vibrate.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to stop this??
Many thanks
Mick

Not really but have you checked for wild life in the volumetric
sensors?

Unplug the sensors and see if the problem persists.
Alternatively there should be a locking routine that shuts down the sensors
for locking on a Ferry or when you happen to be leaving a pet in the car
(obviously ot in the peak of summer etc etc). See the owners manual for more
info.
At least you will know if its the sensors then. If it still carries on the
problem lies elsewhere.

Lock it with the key alone to stop the volumetric sensors being used.

I suspect the DII alarm system is clever enough to complain if you do
that.

There is but I can't remember what it is... It might be using the key
in the door rather than the blipper or a double press on the blipper.

It may be more complicated but is it better?

That will just cause it to signal a "mislock" with a single toot of
the horn and if it's the drivers door open none of the alarm system
will be activated or other doors locked.
If it's anything other than the drivers door open you still get the
toot but all that can be locked and armed will be, except
super-locking and the interior space protection. When the door that
is open is closed it will lock and the system will "automatically
revert to a fully armed state". I'm not sure if that means
super-locking and interior protection then come on as well. Having
just played I don't think it does as you only get a single flash of
the indicators.
Using the key in the door to lock the car is the easy way. This
doesn't super-lock the doors or enable the interior protection.
Indicated by a single flash of the indicators. Triple flash is
locked, super locked and interior protection.
Super-lock disables the interior handles to prevent a scroat smashing
a window to use them to open the door.

How will you know which of the two things you have changed has had a
positive effect if the alarm doesn't sound tonight?
Another thought is the alarm sounding time the same period after the
car has been switched off and locked? I'm thinking that perhaps it
goes into a deeper sleep after say 6 hours of not being used/unlocked
etc.
Anyone know the times for the sleep modes or indeed how many there
are? I know that a few minutes after being switched off the
immobiliser cuts in and there is a deep sleep mode used for
shipping/storage.

Set fire to the car, once it's burned out the alarm shouldn't go off again.

superlocked it. We have had no problems since (fingers crossed).
Seems we have to back it in as opposed to driving it in.
Thanks all
