Weird alarm problem

I have a 54 2.0 TDI Altea which has recently developed a fault in the alarm. If I disable the interior sensors using the button on the B pillar as soon as I lock the car the alarm sounds but the indicators don't flash. If I use the double press of the lock button this also disables the interior sensors (tested and confirmed tonight) and the alarm doesn't sound.

However, if I sit in the car and lock it with a single press of the key, wait for the sensors to initialise and then wave my arms around the indicators start flashing but the alarm doesn't sound.

I have also noticed tonight that the red led on the passenger door stays on steady for about 10-15 seconds after I set the alarm then changes to flashing.

Anyone any ideas on this one? :confused:

Just thought I'd post an update on this in case anyone else gets a similar problem. I've had Diagnostics done on it and the only fault showing was on the Alarm Siren module. I'll be fitting a new one today or tomorrow so I'll add to the post when I've done it to let you know if it worked or not. It better had or I'll be [:@]
