Sounds like the bonnet alarm switches, spring loaded with a little wire clipped underneath.
Circled below...

scrappy job id say

 

[truckingracer]

no probs

I think if they are disconnected the alarm will still work, just the bonnet wont be alarmed. My P1 had one missing, I got one off an Almera being broke.

just cut the wires and tape them up. its a push to break connection, so provided the wires arent touching, it assumes the bonnet is closed.

any of any car in the scrapers will work
