Why the fuck cant people do anything properly in this country. You get an alarm fitted to a car and you expect it to work for a bit longer than 2 months. My car is sat turned on on my driveway and the keys are not in it, they are in my pocket here, because the alarm wont turn the bloody ignition off....

Yes.... Good job GAP record thier telephone calls isn't it as well because they told me how good they were at fitting alarms and how they never used electrical tape to seal their joints, only heat shrink. What do I see all over the wires? Oh, electrical tape.

So it's the plastic thing that clips onto the end of the barrel? Mine did the same as yours which is why I though it was the alarm malfunctioning.....
