Alarm reset
 
I'm in need of removing the battery before I can start to remove items in the engine bay to clean it. Will I need to reset my remote fobs, once I've reconnected the battery? I know on my ex Vauxhall van I had 10 seconds to remove the battery after I had turned the key in the barrel to position 2 or id set the alarms off and put everything out of sync
Mine is a 98 model with the latest fobs

It SHOULDN'T need to be re-set. Disconnect the car's battery and re-connect it after you've finished your jobs. If it does need re-setting the handbook describes how. I'd tell you but my handbook's at home and I'm at work.

Thanks, one has all the books to hand just didn't want to be resetting all of the fobs if I can get away with it

I completely understand.

Shouldn't be a problem, the older Volvoguard1 was a bit sensitive if you didn't connect the battery firmly, ie if there was a bit of sparking or something it would tend not to work properly, but it just needed rebooted and the terminal connected more quickly.
