    Get rid of it. It is just another useless piece of unneeded junk under the bonnet.

    And in your case caused you some grief.

    the bracket of the bonnet switch is flimsey, if you have to lean over the mudguard and are reaching to work in the engine bay you can accidently lean on the bracket with the chest or stomach and bend it slightly enough to get the alarm on locking.

    It's good to know though that even if the bonnet switch is not OK the doors should lock as the vehicle goes into "partial arming" mode:

    Partial arming
    Partial arming allows protection of as much of the vehicle as possible if the alarm is armed with one or more doors or
    the bonnet open.
    Partial arming allows the vehicle alarm to be armed even if the following conditions exist. When the bonnet or door is
    closed, the BCU activates the perimetric alarm and the volumetric alarm after 15 seconds have elapsed:
    - The bonnet is not closed: If the bonnet is open when the alarm is armed, the BCU activates super locking and
    volumetric sensing. In this condition, the alarm enters a partially armed state. All other functions of the alarm are
    active and the BCU monitors the bonnet for a change of state. If the bonnet closes, the system is completely
    armed
