I wonder if you can help me? I have recently had an MoT on my Fiesta Zetec and a coil spring replaced. Subsequently, the alarm keeps going off on the car - waking my neighbours at 4am so I am not very popular at the moment. Can you please help? I don’t have much money after paying for MoT, etc and would be grateful for your assistance.

Might be a spider crawling over the sensor. If not, switch the vents to recirculate, turn the heater to max, point any vent direction to the footwell, shut all face level vents. That will minimise air disturbance inside the car and might stop the alarm going off.
