Strange one this. A couple of times recently when I unlock the car the horn will beep twice. Now I know it will do this if you lock the car and a door or the boot is open but I have never heard of it before when you unlock the car. Any ideas ?

No idea what it is. However very occasionally my S-Type does exactly the same thing.

Well I silicone sprayed all the locks and took her for o good run as I have only done very short trips this last few weeks and thought the battery might need a boost. When I went to her this morning I locked and unlocked a couple of times and no mystery beep ! Here's hoping. 😃

    Silicone seems to be the magic cure then. Hope it continues. Will bear in mind for/if my S-Type does it again.

    Could be or it might be that the battery needed a boost as a low battery seems to cause a few of these sort of things according to threads on here.Or of course as it only does it occasionally it may come back.Will keep an eye on it

    Cheers.

    Get yourself a CTEK battery charger/conditioner. They are extremely good and do prevent what appears to be a lot of codes due to battery discharge when not being used. I have an S-Type, which appear to be even more prone to discharge and use my CTEK MS.7 at least once a week to top up the battery overnight and annually use the RECON setting to condition the battery.

    Well worth the investment.
