Did you try and \"Wash\" anything under the bonnet?

If that's the case sounds like water got in the alarm horn and perhaps something else under the bonnet.

Also, please update your profile, if we know where you are we might be able to recommend someone to help you out.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Might be worth checking everything under the bonnet is dry, perhaps even use a hair-dryer to dry off any moisture in connections.

beabea you certainly seem to have probs with your car \"shaking\" Last week we heard you were going to Repco and you said a timing belt was on the menu. I reckon you need to go back and get it re checked.

beabea wrote:found out the answer!!! I called up repco and have a check. The shake is caused by water getting into the engine while i wash the engine bay. He told me its a common problem to this car. I wont wash under the bonnet again


And a problem with many other cars. Water and electrics don't generally mix.
