New member and his first question by Jimbo5986 on Tue Apr 08, 2008 10:07 pm
Looks like I'll have a few questions given that my 3.2 now has 145K miles but first off whats exercising my mind is a series of four audible beeps emanating from somewhere on the nearside of the car immediately after startup in the mornings. Just in the mornings, never again during the day.
I'm led to believe this is a warning that the backup battery in the factory fitted alarm system is getting low. Problem is where do I find said battery in order that I can source a new one as a replacement? I can't find it anywhere.
