    Its probably just dodgy because of the battered keypad and aging detectors. The keypads on the early panels were always delicate, even when they were brand new women with long nails would puncture holes straight through them when trying to put the code in. The type C bellbox is probably bust because of a corroded terminal or similar, I doubt the bell/siren is broken. The wiring for the system is probably ok too, it loks good anyway as you can't see any cables due to the fact they are all buried. I would keep the Alarmcom PIR on the landing as Alarmcom made good reliable detectors, but probably bin off the rest. So swap panel, new detectors, fix the type C as long as its not polypropylene and your good to go.

      The system was replaced a few years ago with some texecom thing i fitted. It's been alright apart from that it does what this one done and it's got the smart system abilities like app control and alerting me through my phone with faults and alarms.
