Also do the gearbox oil & filter especially if it's an auto. Check the condition of the airspring bags as they have a life expectancy of 7/8 years. Any sign of a rough perished surface, change them before the compressor is knackered or one lets go when you are on the twisties.
Alarm as others have said is usually the volumetric sensor, diagnostics would confirm, but are you opening the car with the key rather than the FOB?

OK, volumetric sensors, passenger side between doors and roof. Diagnostics would confirm, if I remember correctly, volumetric sensors should only be active when the car is super locked. Not a good idea to try super locking it as if anything goes wrong you have to destroy bits to get in.

Ok I will remember not to do that. At the moment I don't bother locking the car as it's safe were I live

Can you buy new ones of these sensors. Will the car need to be reset after I fit a new one

You can find them on Ebay or our sponsors Emmotts may have them. For new, try Island 4 x 4.
Think the fault should clear but you would still be best checking with diagnostics.

I've just been out to the car and the messages comes up using both the key and the fob

Don't forget diff oil, auto box oil and filter and transfer box oil. These often get overlooked and forgotton about.
