Have just bought a Chim 450 which I've just driven back from a snowy and icy UK to the South of France where I live without a hitch. 1100 miles with a permanent smile.
Has anyone experienced 5 beeps when turning the ignition off? It doesn't happen all the time and the car starts every time. Could it be something to do with the alarm or, even to tell you the radio face is still on?
Thanks.

Hi there,

Just a note, but it could be the alarm on the way out, when I was talking to Carl Baker he said that if the siren beeps when the engine is switched off then you need to change the siren before it causes damage to the unit.
Are you going to register the TVR in France? I am in the process at the moment and it is proving to be a little bit of a headache.

It could mean anything from 'I'm not very well' to 'The Toast is ready'
