Hi,
for the last few weeks Betty made a 'chirp' sound each time she was started (maybe she was a bit excited when finally started),
almost like a quick belt slip, very similar to what one hear on some anti-hijack devices when they are activated.
When the battery died I noticed the same sound each time I released the key after the engine pulled dead when trying to start.
Since the new battery this sound is gone, previously it happened on each start, hot or cold, but now gone.
Anybody have an idea what this could be ? seems it is/was related to the poor battery condition of the old battery, maybe to low voltage causing some electronics to re-set or some electrical device ??

Hi Neil,
My 3.2.DiD did the same, look in the bumper front passenger side there is a small siren there looks like part of an alarm, never could figure it out but I suspect it had something to do with a tracking sytem, or an alarm that would have been ex-factory but not fitted.The chirping came and went never bothered me. Good luck
