You need the tried and tested method which is to whack it with a hammer.

Hands up anyone who has experienced problems with alarm on Antara going off intermittently day and night. All suggested fixes to date have not worked (including a known problem being "resolved" at local dealers.

Help please

I've had problems for almost two years since my car was new. It's driving me to despair

Alarm sounding without reason. Worst in hot weather or very cold weather but can happen at any time.Tried removing the fuse to silence it but this wipes the memory of the car's management system so the dealer can't identify the fault

Beeping day and night and even when the car is in motion. This doesn't stop even if the fuse is taken out.

Vauxhall say they are unaware of a generic fault with Antara alarms and advise that the car should be taken to the dealer whilst there is a problem evident !

One dealer claimed to have resolved it 18 months ago but he was wrong.

Another cliaimed not to be able to identify a fault.

Booked in this month for yet another try having listened to the thing for 5 months to ensure computer has enough memory of events. I have recorded alarm and beeping on my mobile phone to prove that I'm not going mad (the car was quiet when I last took it in even though it had beeped all the way there)

At my wits end !!

Since my last message on 16th July, I took my Antara to the garage as arranged and explained that despite the vehicle now being out of warranty I would not be paying as this problem had been ongoing for around 6 months. They advised that this was ok and that they were in touch with Vauxhall. They had the car for two days and following the advice of Vauxhall thay replaced the siren of the alarm. Since then it has been OK but time will tell. I had endured 6 months of alarms at all times od day and night just as you have had. Perhaps this is the fix. I will update this information next month.
