i had a simailer problem with mine. it would churp 3 time when alarming the car and then would go off sometimes. i got the alarm guy to look at it and he couldnt find a problem. we just changed the two door sensers, which do start to coroad after a while and disconnected the bonnet senser for a while. that seemed to solve the probelm of it randomly going off and churping 3 times, now i have connected the bonet senser bk up and it fine. but yer the other guys are right if it is churping 5 times it means that somthing is open. just disconnecting one of the door, bonnet or boot senser and see what happens, and maybe change the sensers. hope that helped, mike

i asked my mate about the alarm anyways. he said it's your boot switch. The boot switch is fault and getting a ground (which it's not suppose to) to stop the 5 churps disconnect the boot switch for the time being

i had this problem, it thought the drivers door wasnt shut cos i had shorted the wire too the switch but jamming in inbetween plastic trim when i changed my seats.
sorted the wire and it works fine now.

come too think of it, you have just had your interior out, i would check all the wire, my money is that you caught it in some trim when putting it all back together.
