    Hi there.

    Have had same problem (to the disgust of my snotty neighbours!!) but alarm still goes off when I have disconnected the bonnet sensor so cant see that a new mechanism will solve my problem. :huh:

    Only solution I currently have is disconnecting the battery after locking the car up at night. Thank f**k for external key opening bonnets!! ;)

    Any ideas????
