Water in the bonnet switch maybe? was it raining at the time? use a couple of old credit cards either side of the switch, push them in a pop up the switch check for corrosion or damp in the connector.

Thanks Steve

No, not raining at the time. I will check the switch.


There was a waterboard van next door at the time of both activations.

They had a leak at the meter last week, lake in the garden type
However gone now and all is quiet, atm!!! I wonder?

If the water board comes back ask them if they have been using any electronic leak detector equipment.

That's good news. If the alarm stays quiet for a few days it will tend to prove it was the equipment they were using.
