Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me with a problem I have on my 8th gen Saloon. Recently I have had warnings while driving, that the boot is open but only for a few seconds. But lately when it rains (see below) it happens constantly and now every time I lock the car, within 20 minutes the alarm goes off. It has been a nightmare the past few nights and tonight my only solution so I can get some sleep, is to leave the bonnet slightly open so the alarm does not set. I have had an ongoing problem of a slight water leak in the boot and numerous trips to various garages have all yielded no fix. So I think replacing the sensor (wherever that is) at the moment wouldn't be wise. Is there maybe any way to lock the car normally but at the same time not activate the alarm? Or failing that, short the boot sensor so it thinks it is always closed?
