Left Kent with 1/4 tank of fuel, forgot to fill up at Clacket Lane and ended running on empty up to Oxford services, literally zero when i pulled in.
When it hit zero i pulled into a space, took a rest break, then returned, ready to fill the car with fuel, but when i started it up the car alarm started going off and the indicators flashing. it went on for about 20 seconds then cut off, and trhen started again a few seconds later!
Is this a safety feature or just a strange coincidence....?

My Ro drives itself out of Kent - a bit like a dog pulling at the leash to get home....along a very quiet M20....

Why, do people go to Kent ON PURPOSE??????
Only joking Guys, but seriously anyone heard of this before? (self rap on hand (before anyone says it) for letting the fuel get so low in the first place...)

sounds like you left the car unlocked and went back after some time?

I was down on 0 miles for about 6 miles before I found a ptrol station, and didn't have this happen. Sounds like something funny went on with the alarm.....

Reckon it is the alarm, as now my right hand indictors stay on when i set the alarm. Its a "Lion Alarm" already fitted when i bought it. Any advice on replacing it?

Indicators staying on is more than likely a sticky relay - happened to mine once or twice.
