I have an MY2000 MGF and for the last few weeks the alarm has been going off for no reason???

I have checked the door micro switches and all the interior lights do go out ok.
I have had a new alternator belt fitted recently all the connectors cleaned up and the battery is charging ok.

Its very intermittment, so has anyone else had a similar issue and got any other suggestions??

Thanks!

Noticed that the loom on boot lid has some split wires, disconnected the interior boot light as perhaps its not going out?? causing a current drain. Anyway, no false alarms since and guess I will be doing a bit of patching over the weekend.
