For the past week at random times of day the Alarm keeps going off which is getting annoying.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing it?

I have some sort of memory that this might be a sign that the batter is on its way out.

I had a similar problem that turned out to be a faulty bonnet sensor.

Have Sports Suspension. .?
Air Shocks ? Total pain they leak overnight. Car drops Bingo. Alarm wakes the neighbours.
Just replaced a pair of rear shocks on a C63 .

How did you isolate thatbas the cause?

(No air suspension)

Xentry diagnostics is able to display previous causes of alarm triggers very simply.
