Most common reason is the bonnet switch.
The plunger near the catch sticks and as you slam the bonnet a little dent forms, the plunger then becomes unstuck later on (as it cools maybe ?)and pops up giving a signal to the alarm that the bonnet is being opened. Put plenty of WD40 on and work the plunger up and down. It is very stiff, even when not stuck as it has a strong spring. If you can't free it off, a new switch is required.

thanks for your reply i will try as you suggested and let you know.
snipquote - obviously you didn't see the pop up box, or maybe thought you were exempt from snipping/summarizing?
