Hi,
My pride and joy is a 1993 Discovery TDi - with an attitude problem! If I leave the front sun roof open (with or without the blinds on) and then lock the vehicle and activate the alarm, I can guarantee that the alarm will go off within 3 - 30 minutes. If I close the roof everything is fine - but it can get a bit hot in there! Rear sunroof causes no problems at all.

Has anyone ever come across this before? I recon it could be teenage tantrums, but I never figured out how to control that with the kids either

All (helpful) suggestions welcome.

Ta.

Mine does this too, and so does my other car with a Cobra alarm. I think the movement sensors are setting the alarm off because of the air moving around in the car. The cobra alarm has a mode to disable the movement sensors for this but the disco don't. Anyway, I don't think there's much you can do about it.

With mine I lock it with the key instead of using the remote locking fob - this turns the alarm on but not the interior sensors.

Pull down the volumetric sensor and disconnect it,the alarm ECU wont know any different and you wont have internal protection - but then you can lock on the fob.
