I had a flat battery the other day , it charged no problem , but now my remote locking will not work , the immobiliser still works fine but no central locking, is this usual after letting the battery go flat. Changed the batteries in the key fob but nothing , any help is appreciated.

The same happened to us with the Toyota alarm (thread running in Toyota forum now).
THe battery was dead and when I opened the fob to change the battery it said they must be changed within 10 mins or otherwise the code will be reset. I changed it within 1 minute but it didnt work. Im assuming it went so flat that there was not enough power to retain the code and it was reset.
Im now trying to find out how to reprogram the fob. There is a way to do it with Toyotas but Im not sure of the exact sequence.
By the way: Do Griffs come with alarmns as standard and are they always Cat1 alarms?
Cheers.

No worries. Drove me nuts when it happened to me too.
Wait 'til you fill up with petrol, pay, throw your shades in to the car, set alarm off, phone dealer who tells you to disconnect siren unit, fail to do that cos it's hard wired in an awkward place, drive a mile home with alarm siren wailing and shrieking like a banshee, cut the wires into it, burn hands on down pipe, remove unit and find it's still shrieking away, hand it to a friend and run away - post here and I'll tell you how to shut the ****** up then.
Have fun g

GRM500 , strange you should say that the siren on my car went off while it was in the garage , eventually to shut the thing up I cut the wires to it ! It has remained that way ever since , one of these days Ill reconnect it and see if the fault is still there. What was wrong with yours, my only idea was that it had got damp and was earthing out , Ill take it out and dismantle it one of these days.

I’ve had 2 replacement sirens both failed as a result of a good dowsing. I now have a plastic bag over it held in place with an elastic band.
Its been like this now for a couple of years with no further problems, I used a thin freezer bag and surprisingly it hasn’t melted though I do change the laggy band from time to time.
Cheers,
Simon.
