Citroen dealer. The alarm is doing what it's supposed to do isn't it?
The dealer can fix your car.

Suppose there would be an easy trick to bypass the alarm. That
wouldn't be an alarm.

Live spelled backwards. If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

...and no one honest person will pass on how to defeat the alarm
short of proof of legal ownership, if, even then.

It's in the handbook...

If it's like the XM (Xants usually are...), you turn the key in the
ignition, but don't start the car, then hold the ultrasonic cutout button
in for a few seconds.

Who'd nick a Xant? Except, of course, pikeys for scrap value.

Is the keyswitch under the bonnet, above the heater air intake on the
nearside, anything to do with it, or does it do something else?

Just turns the siren off. Alarm still does the same, but doesn't wake the
neighbours.
