Default Ford Focus stranded! :-(

My car sits in a parking bay in the city (Melbourne) going no where at this time.

The alarm stuffed up and prevented me from starting the vehicle. I tried entering the pin number by counting LED flashes as instructed by the over-ride flash card in my wallet for about an hour to no avail. The flashes go too quickly. And LED flashes only when bonnet is up.

Call to dealer yielded little help. Basically it ruined what was a good day with a lady friend. But hey we watched the socceross beat Greece at Fed Square so it made it okay. Then I had to catch the train home. Sucko. :-)

Luckily I parked it in a safe and well lit spot next to a 24hour call centre where lots of staff go smoko all the time.

Today the dealer will arrange for alarm techician to go out and rectify the problem. I want the alarm permanently disabled or removed so this does not happen again. They want to charge me a call out fee.

The alarm was dealer fitted as an accessory. I think it is a malfunction and is covered under warranty. I don't think I should pay anything. What do you guys reckon?
