Car doesn't lock and get all kind of wrong Alarms

Hi, this morning my neighbour rang the door and told me that the hazard warning lights at my car were on. As I hadn't used the car for two days I went down to check it out.

Hi,

I am currently playing with the thought of getting my 406 HDI (90bhp) remapped. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get it done in Northern Ireland?

Also, anyone done it and has a rough estimate on the price and the time involved to get it done?

Regards,
DubDani
