Hi Folks,
New to the forum, Bought my Son (18) his first car, as they say, if you want to be a proper petrol head you have to own an Alfa...
Anyway its a 2011 1.4 (95) Veloce in cream,weve had it a few month trouble free, and now following 4 days of terrible weather its been parked up, got in it this morning for his commute to work and the battery is dead. Unfortunately i am away working so i dont have all the details to hand, suffice to say, we suspect the battery, I have a booster pack but Wifey dosnt know how to use it, I believe you have to connect the Live to the battery and the neutral to an earth stud NOT THE NEG of the battery, she didnt want to touch it, So we called a Mobile mechanic..
He disgnosed a flat battery and quickly replaced it, however we cant get the alarm siren to turn off, He has removed the cable to the siren to get us away.
I was wondering if any of you guys and Gals out there have any info on if this is common and how to fix it, The Mobile Mech says he will seek some advice from the stealers and try to get some wiring diagrams,
He says there might be a faulty actuator in the alarm thats stuck on ?
OR
Does something need resetting somewhere, He did the radio and windows reset,
Any help much appreciated.
