re hitting the limiter - the pedal maybe getting stuck under the carpet or the pedal wire may just need greasing.

alarm is a common issue - just french mft issue i think.

if it bleeps 3 times its telling you the ultrasonics have been de activated...the idea being that you can now leave the window open without the alarm going off.

do u know how to do this? I get this every so often, I've always wondered what it means and I never know what's caused it but it would be useful to know how to do this deliberately

That has got to some sort of switch located in the door frame, it might be worth while poking fingers into holes whilst the ignition is turned on to see if you can get the door warning light to go on/off.
If i remember correctly there is a piece of metal sticking out of the door at 90 degs between the hinges that i always thought might activate a switch. Sometimes a bit of a clean or manipulation of a switch is enough..

Mine does the three peeps on locking at the correct time (i.e. when I've turned it to stage two a few times) but also occasionally at random.

French cars, lol.

to disable the ultrasonics (if you want to leave the window open on a hot day)
come to a stop....turn engine off
turn engine on ,quickly drop window correct amount
stop engine
get out
press alarm on key
car bleeps 3 times and alarm sets
this is how i do it anyway it may not be the quickest way,

when unlocking leave a good second or so before opening the door - opening the door as you unlock will activate the alarm but if that's not the issue it sound like it could be wiring related on maybe the sensitivity of the alarm.
