Found it.
Well I've found the switch, its holding bracket is broken and the switch is hanging down by the brake fluid reservoir! All the best

On the drivers near the brake pipes next to the brake servo

Just a piece of information that I found out about the hood switch from the WSM that might be useful;

When the bonnet is open you can pull the plunger up on the switch and this simulates the bonnet closed position. So no need to stick something heavy on it to get a bonnet closed condition.
Also in the bonnet closed position the switch goes to open circuit, so you could just disconnect the switch to simulate that the bonnet is closed. All the best

Indeed. The alarm can sometimes go off when the car sits in the sun, as the bonnet gets hot. I bent the bracket up slightly and put a rubber grommet on the end of the plunger to stop this. No issues since.

A picture is worth a thousand words

The sensor is the plug with purple colour inside, the blue finger pointing to where it is connected !

Here is a couple of photos for an L322 2005 Hood Switch.

Once lifted up the computer box nearby has several happy mumblings.

Finally a picture of the switch location, fantastic I have been searching all over the internet, all they gave was the ones fitted to the bonnet(hood) latch, not these on my car,

I have now made an adjustment (eased the bracket up) if this does not work I will try the suggested bump rubber on top. Note to self always check fullfatRR first. A font of all knowledge 😀
