How did you get on with your dodgy alarm?

Yes - that was an interesting one. I'm pretty sure it was the dud battery. I put in a spare that I had sitting around to replace the dud that was in the car, but I don't think it was charged enough - and I was only doing 20km trips, so it didn't get a full charge. I charged it for 24 hours and haven't had the problem since. I did a couple of other things at the same time - removed an old hands free mobile phone setup, removed the DVD / CD player and disk storage setups and associated wiring. I also pulled the drivers door handle and sorted that out - it was both loose and catching a bit. Who knows - but the problem is gone.
There are, of course other issues still requiring attention - including some that have arisen since I bought the car. My temp guage is now not working all the time (which I believe is a capacitor fix). One thing that the PO told me about after I handed over the dollars was that he had had the fuel guage sender replaced but that it didn't work correctly - goes to zero when off, but goes to 80 litres (of 90) when on - always, regardless of tank level. The consumption and range figures are fine in the OBC though.
I'll call past your place sometime soon - will let you know when I've given it a wash - and we can get a photo if you like.
