Philip,

Having 'inherited' a Piranha alarm on a second-hand car, I tried to buy spares, fault-find, etc., (when they were still in business).

In the end, I bought a new system and stripped out the old one.

This is a reflection more on the Piranha system than on 'old' alarms in general. I believe that they were aimed at the 'DIY' end of the market, and to be honest, they are old technology.

The 'META' system I bought to replace it (back in 1992) cost about £95 and was much better built.

May I kindly suggest that you buy a new alarm????

Martin.
