So when I was putting the windscreen scuttle back in after flushing the brake fluid, I spotted that the hood (bonnet) switch was disconnected. Thinking I had probably undone this myself at some point (although not remembering having done so), I plugged it back in and hoped it wasn't pulled by a PO because the switch was faulty and trigger the alarm.

Two days later, I get my answer. The sodding thing went off three times today in the car park at work...

I pulled the switch and disassembled it, cleaned all the contacts and sliding parts (of which there are FAR too many for this simple switch function!) and put it back in.

So far so good. But I'm sleeping with the key-fob on my bedside table!
