156 Alarm question.
Discussion
Hi folks, could someone with a 156 tell me if there is a way of diabling the 'beeeeeeps' whe you enable and disable the alarm.
It emits two long bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps which are a bit obtrustive when I return home during the early hours. I seem to remember that my last 156 was quiet..
Any ideas? The manual isn't clear at all.

Don't you love alfa electrics. 
leave 'em alone john. The black arts of alfa electrics should never be played with.
Reminds me of a particularly electrically enthusiastic 33 cloverleaf I had. Whilst bombing along the motorway generally returning from leave in the small hours, the cheese board 'computer' would illuminate every single warning message including engine failure. This would be remedied by booting the bottom left hand side of the transmission tunnel which generally caused the main beams to flicker and then go out for a few seconds.
Got to love 'em.

Phew, had me worried there Jim.
That's a lot of oil to be sucking....mine so far hasn't used a drop in 3000 miles, they are not known for their oil usage. I use 10/40 too...
I reckon a seal has popped somewhere, maybe the one at the back of the rocker cover, or maybe the rocker gasket itself. Mine leaked like a bstard from the rocker gasket until I changed it. Come to think of it, it was using a hell of a lot of oil prior to changing the gasket....dribbled all over the back of the exhaust manifold too so it smoked a bit.....all sorted now though.
Icons....go to the 'smiles legend' just to the left of your post and you will see a colon,some words, then another colon. Ie.
translates to colonnutscolon....But if you are a bit of a saddo like me then you end up knowing them.
