Now can anyone help me with what make of alarm I should be purchasing
for my old French farmhouse? It has metre thick walls, so I guess a
wireless system is what I need.

No-one _needs_ wireless, some have to put up with it. I personally
wouldn't touch wireless with your bargepole but I've heard good
reports from some fellow installers who have used the professional
trade equipment, not the B&Q specials.

Also a make that I could pick up the
spare parts in France might be good, even though I would want to buy
the system in the UK and take it out. Someone said Bosch was good, what
do you all think? We certainly need a system that is rock solid that
will not play up the minute we are away.

Yep, the Bosch is apparantly a good choice, as is the GardTec, the
Honywell Domonial and The Scantronic Class VI offerings. These are a
bit less easy to come by by DIYers as they are generally only
available to trade, One of the better top end DIY\low endPro systems
is the ESP Infinite. All depends what you can get, if you can tempt a
professional installer over then you can get them to supply anything
you want then.

Now what I need is an offer of help on the installation and in
exchange, I will give you full board in the beautiful South of France
for a week.
Any takers?

Hmmm, tempting.
