MG MGF Technical - Alarm Triggering

Good Afternoon Everyone
The problem started yesterday morning, when I turn off the car and hit the button to lock it about 10 secs go by and the alarm triggers. Now i've closed the windows checked all switches can not find the problem
Any help greatly appreciated.

When this started happening on my F my dealer warranty replaced the door lock on right side (sorry but I have no idea which side of the road you drive on in Bermuda although a friend who has visited said "any side") and all was well again.

Thanks for that

Didn't I recently read that you ignored the 40kph limit as well. Do you still have a licence to drive? I hope so.

Luis,

I recently had a very similar if not identical problem to you. Again this turned out to be a fault with the door latch on the driver's door.
