Cool Alarm goes off when starting

I have a 2001 s type.
Would a low battery cause the security alarm to sound when trying to start.

It could do. Try to get someone to check the voltage during the time you crank the engine (or swap battery LOL).

If you do have a dying battery, expect all sorts of problems. Have it checked for ability to sustain a huge current and replace if in doubt.

It goes down to about 4v when cranking so I guess it's screwed.

The spec is 9V I think. Sorry, time to get a suitable new battery - there have been posts recently so do some searches.
