Alarm problem
The alarm is going off intermittently. No apparent reason for it so is this an easy fix or what? Thanks.

Alarm
I suspect that the bonnet sensor is setting off the alarm. Best thing to do is to lower the two rubbers mounts, and then close bonnet, if that does not resolve it, check the sensor has not come away from the rubber seal, if it has I suspect that it will be wet, and therefore setting off the alarm

Tried the fix today Stu. The bonnet certainly locks down better (in fact the bonnet opener in the car is now too stiff) but the alarm still went off after around an hour of being locked!!
Any more pointers to the cause?
