Sorted. And another 5-star review for this excellent forum!
The interior of the boot came to pieces easily and the most difficult job was removing the connector from the alarm horn. Once removed, the new horn - which is smaller than the original - was easy to install.
It took c. 30 minutes from start-to-finish to undertake the task. The longest part was removing the connector.
Once installed, I triggered the alarm deliberately and the sound from the horn is most certainly limp-wristed...
The car is now locked and thus far, no beeping from the alarm.
I took a hammer to the old alarm unit (made in Australia, whereas the new one is made in Hungary) and sure enough the Ni-Mh batteries had leaked onto the PCB and corroded the contacts.
Once again, many thanks for the information.
