This is probably a stupid question but should this light be flashing all the time, even when the cars locked and has been left for ages?
I didn't know if it was just to show that the alarm is armed or something, as a deterant to thieves.
I've just noticed it and haven't used the car since Sunday and was hoping it wasn't going to be draining battery or anything silly like that.

I'm pretty sure its meant to flash all the time mate, just to show it has an alarm fitted to put off car thieves

It flashes in a pattern when armed and flashes in a quicker pattern if the alarm has gone off since it was locked. Once you start the car it will stop flashing all together.

Think of it like a heartbeat. Its a steady pace if car is fine. But if alarm goes off the pace gets quicker, as if the car was panicking.
Best description I got 
Hope it helps

Early BSI software versions it only flashes when the alarm system is armed.
Newer BSI software versions it flashes for when the immobiliser system is armed instead.
It will also flash really fast if the alarm system has been triggered.
