Just having a quick look in ETKA looks like it's under the bonnet(ish), in the centre by the bulkhead. See pic - I'll send via pm.

As posted above, the alarm siren is in the boot, in the well behind the N/S rear wheel under the central locking pump.
If the siren hasn't been replaced previously, you will need to drill the fastening hole to a larger size. You will also need a new nut to go with the larger thread on the new siren.

It's an easy job. I've changed a siren a couple of times now. I find removing the left hand side panel makes access very easy.
