could the engine be a bit flooded?(plugs smell of petrol?) have you done lots of short journeys? I had that problem with my touring, needed the RAC to put a battery booster to jump start it. but was fine afterwards.

Have you tryed pulling out one of the spark plugs, puting it in the end of the lead, resting on top of the engine, and making sure there is a spark?

Only you can tell if you can turn the alarm off with a key... if you have the key, then yes, turn it off.
