Renault Traffic Van 03 plate ALARM ISSUE!!!!?

Hi All, the day my 3yr warranty expired the alarm started playing up. I see there are a few of you out there with the same type of issue. This is what mine does,
If it's parked with the front facing the wind it goes off striaght away, which means every time i park up i have to lock it manually. What can i do (not mechanicly minded!), i've taken it to a non Renault dealer who put it on various tests and they couldn't sort it?? After it started playing up the Renault dealer i got it from put me onto a "specialist" who had it all day and still found no issue!
Any info, ideas welcome,
Thanks in advance :)

I have the Nissan version, also an 03 plate with the same fault, once it has gone off and re-set it seems to be ok. I have come to the conclusion that she is lonely and misses my company.

HI there can you disconnect the ultra sonics control unit in the roof and see if it still happens if it dont work you will need to find the alarm unit ,sometimes in the engine bay on the n/s under the injection computer bracket ,the best way to find it is to set the alarm off and see where the noise is coming from ,then find it then disconnect it, then connect the ultra sonics back ,then check central locking .
