Don't rely on this as the answer, as informed by my Ford dealer mechanic...........actually he is very good and helpful. :lol:

 

Most alarm problems like this are caused by the bonnet switch. As you drive along the bonnet moves up and down very slightly because of the air flow. This movement keeps operating the switch thus making it wear out. A new switch normally resolves the problem.

My same problem was caused by the sensors in the pillars behind the the 2 front seats. It's very easy to disconnect them or replace(fraud). The seat belt bolts need to be undone for this

does anyone one know if vag com will pick up any sensor errors many thanks so far james

My Mondeo had the same problem.

The solution was to replace the bonnet switch - it faces all the weather and driven rain at high speeds, and inevitably moisture gets into it, despite the rubber cover.

 

I even got a temporary cure by just cleaning all the contacts and spraying WD40 all over it.

 

I also heard that the next most likely cause was the internal sensors on the pillars - apparenly tiny spiders can get inside and spin webs over the sensors and screw them up (not sure I believe that one!).
