    Sounds like a memory/coding issue. Have you recently disconnected/let the battery go flat??

    There should be setup instructions with the alarm - assuming it's aftermarket. If you still have them have a look.

    Its a factory alarm. I haven't been near the battery although the car was in for a check up around the same time it started happening. Maybe I should try disconnecting the battery for a while?

    Try it, but leave it for about 10-15 minutes if you can

    This seems to have fixed itself somehow.

    Don't know if it's anything to do with it but the wiring loom to the boot(within the rubber hose) is a known weak spot several wires can break or short out worth a look either way.

    You could be right as no other way to explain it happening then repairing itself.
