996 Alarm Problem

[EVO575]

Hi folks,The alarm on my 1998 C2 has started to go off every time I lock the car(about 60secs after locking).The car is in daily use and not being able to lock it is understandably major!.I have read the handbook and all contact points are good-doors,lids,centre console.Help!!
I am more than 50 miles from the nearest OPC-is this a common fault with a known fix or are these usually reliable?
All suggestions welcome.Paul.

it sounds like a contact has gone... (since youve checked everythings closed) so it must be a sensor or something?

No except cd chander is away to be fixed?-seems to be okay this morning when I double lock it quickly(hence disabling internal movement sensors?)

would they have pulled the stereo from the dash to disconnect the changer?
