If like me, your MR2 has been laid up due to the snow, use an optimate.
If you battery dies to the level mine did, your alarm will go off at midnight waking all the neighbours and then you cant open the door or turn it off due to the fact your battery is dead.
Just to let you know, keep it charged or take it out.

This is of course after I relocated the alarm to make it as loud as I possibly could!

 s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  Top thread!
Seriously, my old battery has got to the 'clicking point' on serveral occasions having been left without starting up. So at what point is the alarm set off? I've not seen this posted before.

when teh battery is so dead teh alarm thinks someone pulled power to kill your alarm

the alarm then uses its internal battery to sound off

Is there any way you could tap into that power and use it as a booster to get the car started?
