I don't know the answer to your alarm going off, but all indicators flashing when it does is a normal function. :y

power sounder knackered you'll find it beneath the trim that fits between windscreen and bulkhead., directly inline with the steering wheel Its usually the batteries inside that go and whenthey run down you annoy the neighbours
plenty of threads on it here. Replacement part Vxall only about £60 and I think it needs tech2 to set it up for the car

Hi Eddie, Try unplugging it mate, if its still the same at least you'll know that the bonnet switch is fine,

power sounder knackered   .....

Or simply the bonnet swtich bracket is bent, so the contacts in the switch are only just closing. Ambient temp fluctuations then 'moves' the bonnet off the switch.
