I once had a problem with a customers car when I was in the trade.
Couldn't find a thing wrong with the alarm, but if we left the car for half an hour or so it would go off for apparent reason.
We were just about to swap the internal movement sensor when we spotted a frog jumping around in the footwell. 
Apparently they had bought a load of pond plants at the garden centre a few days earlier...
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

The interior light is drawing current, which sets the alarm off. Take the bulb out if you cant switch it off.

Thanks James,
Ive trawled thru that forum already to no avail
I think, i may have cracked it as the offside door electrical connections to the door shut was loose ish, and all seems fine so far !

Had a range rover that did this, changed the battery to resolve.
The alarm saw the gradual drop off in voltage overnight as an attempted theft, PITA as it started okay so did not like throwing the old battery away.

Lots of Rovers have problems with the tag that operates the interior light snapping off on one of the doors and causing the light to stay on.
Worth a look

My Espace starting doing it last year and got progressively worse.
Shop had it Tues/Wed last week and said it was the wiring from ultrasonic sensors picking up interference from other wires, so they rerouted them
(yeah, like cut them in half)
