Alarm ecu location 2000 W reg Xantia Estate.
Morning everyone. Had the passenger seat out of the car today but no ecu I take it they (Citroen) have re-sited it but where. Any help today VERY much appreciated as I don't want to spend my week off fixing the car. Richard Gallagher are you out there.

Update 2. I've been ringing some more garages and car alarm specialist's who keep saying that it's "possibly" linked with the immobiliser and as such I may not be able to disable it even if I wanted to. But if I can lock the door's with the key in the drivers door which by passes the alarm then you must be able to use the remote without setting the alarm. Can't I??

Cheers wheeler I will take a look and see if I can do something about it that won't disturb the immobiliser e.t.c.

Cheer's for the replies but I may now know the problem. If I try to set the alarm now it beeps to show a door is open (every time). Now if I open the boot and close the lock whilst it's open it set's o.k but if I shut the boot and try setting it gives the error tone BRILLIANT. Unfortunatley prior to my posting it would either show a fault then clear itself next time I set it or it would trigger in the middle of the night. I can't tell you how chuffed I am now I know the problem (fingers crossed). Being an Alarm engineer by trade (Buildings not cars) I know how annoying it is getting to a customer with an intermittant fault that requires loads of fault finding compared to turning up with the fault still there and getting it sorted instantly. Next thing i'm going to do is lock the catch with the boot open then set the alarm (with internal sensors off) to see if the way it catches is at fault or the lock itself. I will let you know soon hopefully again thanks for your replies.
