Cold weather - January 2015: my turn to have this problem.
I was interested to see "AdverseCamber's" post from Jan 2007; 2 days ago a bottle of water with a faulty lid disgorged about a pint's worth of water into the passenger footwell. That night the alarm kept going off in the wind and this morning the open-bonnet light was on and the wipers didn't work (though I did try driving and they do when the car is in motion).
I've got a heater in the footwell and I shall try the battery disconnect later.
Failing that, I shall try and find a new bonnet lock on ebay ;)
Otherwise it's off to Honest John's cousin for an under-hood tinker.
