I was wondering if the flashing alarm lights on my cerbera are trying to tell me something!
The rear screen one flashes approx once a second
The immobiliser red one is about once every 2 seconds
And the green door lock led flashes very rapidly

Is this right and what's the best way to test the alarm as I don't know if it works

Close the boot until the light goes out but don't latch it . Arm the alarm and wait 30 secs. Open boot and the alarm should go off.

Also, sit in the car, arm the alarm, wait 30 seconds and then wave your arms around like a demented TVR owener and the alarm should go off if the interior sensors are working.

Just like when the immobiliser decides to work when it's turned off and you end up waving your arms about like a TVR owner?

Right, I tried this and the alarm doesn't go off, all that happens is the red light in the back window flashes and a relay clicks in time with it.

Also is the indicators meant to flash when you lock/ unlock the car?

I know the immobiliser works fine.

Yep, indicators flash when arming and dis-arming.
