Strange one this morning, and not the first time I've heard it.

Went out to start the car this morning. Press the remote and open the passenger door to release the screen cover, and I get a deep sounding "bong" as I open the door. Open the drivers door and nothing heard.

Last time I heard it was when we were moving and had left the rear doors open for a long time. On reopening later the same bong.

Only thing I can think of is low battery, as this morning it was -6 and I hadn't started the car for probably 5 days.

Any ideas?

Had you left the indicator on? This puts the parking lights for the associated side on. It gives you the lights on warning buzzer then.

No, nothing left on, at all.

This sound was nothing like the lights alarm.

A deep "bong"

This thread has to win the award for 'most misinterpretable thread title'.

On the subject of your bong, however, it's not just a 'it's cold out, beware of ice' noise is it?

You shouldn't be driving anywhere after a bong

WRC, no, as that only works when you turn the ignition on. This "bong" was quite definately when I opened the passenger door first.

Bobby, gave that up many, many years ago.

Morning bong? Prefer a morning bonk myself!

Ive had the deep bong sound when i have had the radio on(without engine on) ,after a while it bongs.

Radio turned off, and as said, no ignition turned on.

Go on Bob, you know where you've got to go!!

Oh wait .... that type of bong.

Carry on !!

Go on Bob, you know where you've got to go!!

It's OK, I'm off to France for 2 weeks from tomorrow.

Graham, Had it been a "Bing" "Bong" - then that would be the Avon Lady

Peter, no, that would be "ding dong" but not in a Leslie Phillips voice! How you doing for breakfast ceral?

Oh enough to last several winters... :sun:

George, isn't it time for your piano lesson?

I only read the thread to find out how long before "someone" kicked taste into touch and the innuendo or double entendre kicked in.

I had it on the sharan the other day and put it down to the light switch being on, but they turn off automatically when locked.

Or don't you get this if the alarm has been triggered?

Woman walked into a bar and asks for a double entendre, so the barman gave her one. And I always thought that innuendo was an Italian suppository? Bad taste enough for you?

No alarm triggered, no lights left on.

It's a mystery.

Wonder if will do it when I leave here in half an hour.

Watch this space.

That's harsh ... I'll happily share a bottle with the old bugger next time he's over this way.
