I bought a little Carryvan from a Suzuki dealer (it was their parts van) in 2005 (05 plate), I needed a small van for a couple of hobbies and it fitted the bill. It came with a cobra alarm & central locking on the fob which worked when I tried it, never really used it, then lost the fob. Yesterday after several years, I found the fob. The battery is flat in the fob, so just wondered what I would need to do to get it working again.

A new battery would be a good start

That depends on which Cobra alarm it is, age, type (CAT1?), if it's a non 'CAT' system should work by simply changing the battery.

From memory, to re-sync the alarm (once you have a new battery), stand close to the car and press both buttons on the fob for about 10 seconds until the little light goes out, then long press the big button once (about a second). I think that should do it; it was something like that for my alarm.
