before any one says use the search bar i already have lol
so here is my problem, my alarm persistently keeps going off, it started around a week ago and i cant get it to stop, unlock the car alarm goes off, lock car again it could go off 15 mins later, it could go off 15 hours later...
i have pressed and held the alarm button in for 5 secs to turn off interior sensors to no avail
i have even taped up the sensors to be sure lol
still goes off so cant be a sensor problem
any advice would be appreciated except for get a new car lol. I am SERIOUSLY considering leaving my car unlocked at this rate guys its driving me insane

Might be a faulty siren - just unplug it for the meantime.

Try disabling the ultrasonics with the button by the handbrake and see if it still goes of randomly.
I don't have the standard alarm, but found the info out by searching. I feel helpful tonight

Leave your car unlocked 10 days before Christmas. Sounds like a smashing idea and a great way to invalidate your insurance if the car is stolen.
Solution - unplug the siren, or even better disconnect the battery.

My Pug GTI did exactly that - alarm going off randomly at silly O'clock in the morning, or at any other time. I pressed the disabler button by handbrake to disable the alarm yet it still went off.
I checked all of the door sensors, boot sensors these where all okay. In the end I narrowed it down to Ultrasonic sensors (when previously I had ruled those out -due to button by handbrake!).
Anyway...I ordered new Ultrasonic sensors from Peugeot, took out the old ultrasonic sensors and fitted the new ones.
My alarm was fixed and working as it should be.

I reckon that replacing the Ultrasonic sensors will fix your problem. As I had exactly the same problem with my alarm as you seem to have.
Not to difficult either.
Just run the new ones in before totally removing the old wires, as this is easier to see where to locate the new wires which should be found on the drivers floor pan, but behind the brake peddle up near the steering rod.
Tricky to find at first but just get a torch and you'll see where the plug adapter is!

How long ago was that? How are they fitted as well, do the old sensors unplug half way down the loom or something?

I replaced the alarm sensors summer 2010 ( think).
Remove the sensors from the top a pillars 1st, so push out from A Pillars. Sensor wires run behind the trim above windscreen, so you need to free that.
Then just carefully free all way down to behind the dash.
Just leave the old sensor wires plugged in until you have refitted the new ones from the A Pillars down & into and behind the dash.
You'll see where the wires go when you free the old ones.
The little female plug socket that the new sensor wire fits into, is in an awkward place, in drivers footwell, above brake pedal, but at bottom centre of steering rod. So get a torch and crouch down there and take a peek.
I found it easier to just run the new sensor wires alongside the old ones till I had them in the right place. Then I just un plugged the old wires from female socket and put in the new one.
It took me about 1 hour to do.
I guess now I know how to, and were the sensor socket is...I'd get it done in 1/2 that time.
