Fitting New Alarm
r5gtt:
Sorry to hear of your misfortune with the broken window. guess you do need it asap. Yeah I didn't like the look of the D tbh. I know it's a pain but the least you could have down was put the liner back on :signLOL:
The alarm design was stupid as the batteries leak onto the pcb shorting them out but putting them in a different position does help thay but non the less they'd still fail at some point but repairable if the pcb board is in tack as there's a how too on the tt forum as to replacing the batteries.

No problem and I have seen that forum but when I opened the old alarm siren.. Literally 3/4 of the circuit board was covered with battery acid lol .. Not repairable I guess.. Also the battery for it costs around £8 so better to buy a used one for £20.. Wish me luck that this C revision will work now, will arrive on Tuesday.
Thank you very much for your help guys! :)

Good luck and do let us know if all went well :happy2:

Thing is, if the one from china revision C does not work then I am going to have trouble getting money back. What is the life spam on these alarms? How do I know how much longer I have got till the used alarm dies out lol..?
