I've just acquired a lovely 2003 diesel Connoisseur but it has a few quirks, not least the alarm going off ar 4am this morning! I understand that locking the door with the key rather than remotely will prevent this happening again. Is this correct, please?
I have also just acquired a diesel Connoisseur and found various of the electrics just come on as they wish even at night. Rain water on the wiring is occurring. But obviously I will not know an accurate version of events until the car is dried out. Maybe have a look at my posts and replies from those more experienced?
A quick way to know if the carpet is flooding can be finger on the dent in the carpet where front seat belt has a big are bolt to the inner sill. Also the underside of one or more of the car mats are strangely wet. Testing the sunroof drains by carefully pouring some warm soapy water and seeing where it comes out, helped me trace a fault - but finding a fault (disconnected sunroof drain pipe) meant adding water into the electrics above the drivers footwell and the electrics are worse at the moment
Where our cars may have a similar fault is mine came without a remote key....and a previous owner has taken apart all the door locks and not put them back together very well.
