Thanks for the help on this, I've just removed it all with no issues, it didn't make any noise whatsoever.

I'm confused now. I don't want to touch the sounder, I just want to leave it on the wall without setting it off. I want to just remove all the internal stuff, and I was hoping that since it's all lost communication I can do that without setting the sounder off. Are you saying that even in it's...

"Not likely" doesn't sound like "will not" to me ;) I'll get the ladders out and ready before I do it just in case, but my plan now is to cut the power to the panel, open it and pull the batteries, and then go around and remove all the sensors. I was planning to just leave the sounder on the...

So the status is: all zones are lost, phone line disconnected, external sounder lost, external sounder low battery. Does the external sounder low battery status mean it's the alarm battery, or just the radio battery? Either way, I assume it's not possible for it to go off unless someone tampers...

I've searched but all I can find is the installation quick start guide, and the user manual which I already have a hard copy of. Even if I got those codes, presumably if they don't work it will set the thing off? EDIT: OK well the number pad appears to be dead, pressing the * button and...

I have one of these systems in my house, it's been here for 6 or so years without being used, no idea if it was used much before then. I don't have any of the original codes or anything, but I can see the system is at least powered as the control unit has a flashing light, and the sensors...

So the ultimate idea is to build a "shed" to the side that is joined to that garage. Currently there's a shed standing there that looks something like this. It has a roof that slopes from front to back, it's very low head hight at the back and the whole thing leaks, so it's slowly rotting...

The garage is over 40 years old so clearly not up to current building regs. My question is, if I added an opening in the side, where do I stand in terms of building regs? Do I have to "uplift" the whole building to current regs?

It's a detached garage with "side gables" and doors at each end. I'm thinking about extending it out to the side, and wondering if I can create an opening like pictured. The roof structure is supported by a lintel at each end above the doors, and those lintels rest on the corner pillars. The...
