Yeh, thanks, but like I said in my original post - its not the beep of the horn, its a chirp from the alarm speaker itself.

Cheers anyway.

Found one other person who had it, and he had the alarm replaced under warrranty.
Rats.

It seems UK spec Box's have an alarm siren (rather than just the horn) with tilt sensors. Its this siren.

I think Im gonna try and work out where it is and disable it as the alarm is functioning fine and still sounding the horn ok.

Will have to do, not spending another $400 having em replace the siren.
