Seem to have the alarm going off for no reason intermittently, but it's not the full blown alarm just indcators flashing and mid-low siren - any clues on where to start looking/checking? |

Allow me to be the fourth! Have the same problem so I'll try disconnecting the bonnet switch today.. I guess it's the sun hitting the bonnet and causing the metal to expand |

The engine Well it's been almost 48 hours and not a peep from the alarm! Use to go off at least once a day so seems fixed. Question is: should I fix the sensor or just leave it unplugged permanently? |

Me too. LRA assist advise leave it disconnect - mine's off to the dealer for adjustment or replacement on Wednesday. |

And allow me to be the fith! Started going off this morning. Will clean/WD40 the switch and if that doesn't work disconnect it. Wish the stuck CD changer was as simple to fix...

All the way at the top left under the bonnet.. just pull the wire out and make sure it's not hanging down or going to rub against anything |

Surprised you even need to ask really. Not withstanding the fact I hate having things not working on the car - you would also invalidate the "theft" part of your insurance as you have disabled part of your security system. Someone could open your bonnet to disable the alarm and then make off with your car. |

The Isle of Man had the best idea, the birch.

Getting it fixed is at the top of the list But I guess from a technical point of view, it's not causing any damage? |
