Wouldn't surprise me at all tbh. People are daft. I wouldn't actually touch it so will need to find a good reputable engineer in Salford. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. There's no service contract on it and it hasn't been serviced for probably 10 years according to the previous owner. I will find an engineer then and get them out. Thanks again, Ewan Ps, i wasn't actually going to take a sledgehammer to it, tempting is it is! Ha ha

Hi, i recently bought my house which had an optima xm panel. Annoyingly it will randomly go off for no obvious reason. The panel alarm sounds and the external light on the alarm box flashes but there is no external noise. I thought it was power surges causing it initially as occured when high draw appliances kicked in but seems not to be the case. It just randomly goes off. It wont do it for ages then it will do it all night. Please can someone advise what this might be and how i can fix it before i take a sledgehammer to it??? It shows a tamper fault on the box when it goes off and resets ok. Its wired in through the lighting circuit. Many thanks. Ewan
