Bonnet catch Unit

Hi Im new to the forum ..
I have what is a very familiar problem, horn going off, bonnet open error. Horn beeps when i try to lock it. Ive read previous posts . Seems it is a problem with the sensor.

I managed to get rid of the bonnet open error by fiddling with the cable that goes into the bonnet catch unit and that worked for a while until yesterday ! So my question is, is there anywhere i can get the part without going directly to LR? I called a landrover parts place yesterday and spoke to someone who didn't have a clue what i was talking about.
Any help appreciated

Hi, try quoting "Under Bonnet Alarm Switch Assy, LR041431" or LR065340 - BONNET / HOOD ALARM SWITCH DISCO3-4-RRS to your local Dealer (or any other Land Rover parts supplier), the latter item is the latest part and now appears to be supplied complete with the mounting bracket.
Cheers,
Tony

Issue:
Failure of the bonnet switch located within the bonnet catch
Cause:
Lubrication of the bonnet catch during routine servicing.
Although lubrication of the bonnet catch is not called for under the service schedule, some technicians may lubricate the catch under the assumption that this is good workshop practice.
Action:
Please DO NOT lubricate the bonnet latch as this may cause early life failure of the micro switch within the latch. This may result in rejected claims against the latch.

I was going to say, just bridge the bonnet switch as a temp fix. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Guys just a quick question. I took off the grill and removed the unit, unplugged it, very easy but when i put the new part on the bonnet cable is loose as the fitting is different from the old one. the metal part that holds the cable is not as far away as the old one and thus the cable remains loose and not taught ..Hope I have explained that well enough and if you have any ideas for me you would help me greatly! Thank you Francesca
