Alarm and locking problems! help please!!
09. Feb 2011 at 11:10

I have a y plate omega 2.5 v6 estate, yesterday I went out to the car blipped the key to open it, the alarm went of but really muted and fast, no lights flashing tho, the car dead locked and i could not get into it at all,it stayed liked this for two hours, 2 hours later the proper full blown alarm went off I managed to open the doors, the alarm and lights still going!! 15 mins later when green flag finally arrived it stopped ...he reckoned it was because the battery was low I'm not convinced I drive the car 100 miles everday! Any ideas????? My husband is telling me to get shot but I love my car!!

If it happens again, open the door and turn on the ignition, that should stop the alarm.
