the car beeping until the key is in the ignition is the car telling you that the key fob battery is flat.  In the drivers side, an unlock1 to open drivers door, then turn and hold the key to the left (unlock) for a few seconds to perfom a manual hard unlock.

I think, but not 100% sure, that there is a way of disabling the immobiliser using key turns in the ignition when the fob battery goes flat.  If you can get a fob battery local, then try that though as it's a bit of a faff.

yes, normal operation is quiet when you get in the car, I've a neighbour with a nice shiny Freelander and he was very happy with the job lot of batteries I got from HK on ebay :lol:  He also assumed it was just the alarms normal operation :)
