RE: Alarm behaviour - leaf911 - 10-02-2013 11:03pm
My husband seems to think that it could be the extreme temperature changes, which could possibly affect the contacts of the door/tailgate switches. We live in sunny Brisbane, and my husband remembers that it tends to happen more during winter than the warmer months. He has a Nissan 200sx. However the alarm doesn't go off every night. Could it be that your switches are ultra sensitive? Still you don't want a car that goes off that often.. Waking not just you but the rest if the neighbourhood as well.

I've also had my alarm go off 5 or 6 times (usually in the middle of the night), always just the alarm and no indicators. But on checking the alarm status it says "no activations" (or words to that effect). I was even thinking it must be one of the neighbour's cars until it went off when I was outside near it and I stopped it with the keyfob - still it denied any alarm activation though.

I've spoken to the dealership today who wanted to have the car back in again.
But I did say, I'd rather they not take it back if they don't have a clue... so they are "logging an issue" with LR head office to see what they suggest.

Arghh - after a number of weeks of not waking up and running fast enough, I have tonight confirmed that I am unlucky enough to be a member of this club.
I will contact dealer today and also get Liam onto the case.
Are there are similarities between us all?
I never noticed it before the new year and that is when my car was serviced - can anyone else say that it started just after a service ?
Silly as it may sound, are we all Pano roof owners ?
Trickle charger attached (solar or otherwise) ?

Raised with dealer - they have another doing the same thing but cause currently unknown. They are going to contact LR again to see what progress they have made.
Not yet been able to get hold my contact at LR or Liam.
RE: Alarm behaviour - cjfp - 12-02-2013 06:37pm
I PM'd Liam this morning and he kindly called me this afternoon. LR are aware of this alarm issue and are working on it with high priority. He hopes to have more information/resolution shortly and will get back to me / the forum soon.

I have just arranged to leave it with them for 3 weeks (in a months time) whilst I am on holiday.

My alarm went off in the night again, after reading the posts I noticed the lights were not flashing just the alarm was sounding.I have had no problems before the software update a couple of weeks ago so I wonder if this is
linked to that.

Had my second (in a month) phantom alarm the other night, so sadly I seem to be on the list of sufferers (still no alarm shown in the Service Menu)
I’m not going to do anything just yet, as I’d rather wait for JLR to have a solution first. Although, it depends on how regular the problem becomes and how understanding my neighbours are.
That said, I have no other problems with the car at all, so I’m still very happy
RE: Alarm behaviour - cjfp - 14-02-2013 09:49am
Two things I am trialling whilst we await a solution is:-
I) single locking (no issues in last few days)
Ii) dbl locking but with the "alarm sensors" turned off in the menu (still to be tried)
