the D3 alarm, the one at the side of your bed or the moving one with the flashing blue light on it?

One goes off whenever it wants to, one goes off every morning at 07.00 and the other one goes off every time I race Toerags.

Partial arming
If an aperture (door, bonnet or tailgate) is not fully closed when the remote control lock
button is pressed, the horn will sound briefly to signal that an aperture is still open. The alarm will remain disarmed, but all of the closed apertures will lock.
As soon as the open aperture is fully closed, the system will automatically arm, signalled by three flashes of the hazard warning lamps, with interior space protection activating 30 seconds later.
Note: The vehicle will not superlock if an aperture (other than the bonnet) is open.
mine does not do this. I had a bonnet latch fault that made the car think the bonnet was open. the vehicle would not lock.

[/quote]Thanks Matt; that is, as you said, the first sensible suggestion since I posted the question! Is the passenger door then locked automatically when you close it?
Ian, sorry about the delay in answering it, yes the passenger door is then locked automatically on closing.
PS. For a long time now I thought the alarm I kept hearing was a neighbours, it wasn't until the onsett of warm summer nights with open windows that I realised it was my alarm all along.

I never thought of seeing if the door locked itself, I just kept dismantling that fiddly manual lock!
Still, problem no longer exists (I hope !) since car was exchanged for a new one on Monday. As you said, I did ask the question a long time ago.
Still, it's always nice to get to the bottom of a problem, so to speak

"This bulletin supersedes TSB LA419-004/2006 dated 27 January, which should either be destroyed or clearly marked to show it is no longer valid (e.g. with a line across the page).
Subject/Concern: Discovery 3/LR3 - Battery Back-up Sounder
Models:
Discovery 3 / LR3 Vin range: 5A000318-6A389525
Markets: Belgium and Netherlands
Section: 419-01
Summary:
A customer may report a concern that the vehicle alarm sounds with no theft attempt.
This bulletin has been re-issued to include a closing VIN.
Cause: Some vehicles have been built with an incorrect battery back up sounder (BBUS), or the unit has not been installed, or the correct unit is installed but there is a control module software error. The central junction box (CJB) is not recognizing the signal 'heartbeat' from the BBUS that incorporates the alarm tilt sensor. When the vehicle is locked, the incorrect or missing signal from the BBUS is seen as a theft attempt by the CJB and triggers the alarm.
Action: Should a customer express concern regarding the above, refer to the Service Procedure detailed in this bulletin."
Thanks 10fc
It seems that this affects my car as well. Prague and Düsseldorf didn't know what to do with the problem.
Belgium is too far away at the moment...

Does anybody knows if the solution for the TSB LA419-004V2 implies replacing the battery by a more powerfull one? I have a 825amp battery. Moreover, the battery seems to be in doubtfull condition (black indicator) after nearly 3 years.

no expert but reading the TSB, there is no reference to a battery issue. your post however suggests you have.
