Fixed my volumetric alarm today. Had it checked awhile ago after getting broken into. They confirmed the ultrasonic sensors were working and alarm enabled. The alarm just didn't trigger.
Found today it's been in Transit mode for the last 9 years.... :eek:
Was reading this last night-
Discovery Owners Club :: Tech - Body Electrics - Security System (http://www.discoveryownersclub.org/tech/bodyelec/security.php#transit)
Just used the method stated at the bottom -
The vehicle can also be removed from transit mode by simultaneously holding down the heated rear window and the rear fog lamp switches and turning the ignition switch from position 0 to position III for 2 seconds
A simple check is to open the drivers door and observe how long the courtesy light stays on. If it only stays on for 15 secs the system may be in transit mode. Light should stay on for 10 minutes with the door open.
Once I switched transit mode off I lowered a rear window (open front windows disable volumetric alarm), superlocked with key fob, waited 15 seconds for alarm to arm and waved my arm through the open window. Alarm went off almost straight away. :)
Note for those with Nanocoms (firmware 2.02)

.....
3. "Transit Mode" reads SET where in actual fact it is NO SET on the vehicle. If this is set wrong, the security of the vehicle is compromised. It seems Nanocom have it back-to-front.
......
Hope this is of help to somebody else.
