could be something simple like condensation, spiders or moth....worth looking at before you get a garage to check it at great expense. For condensation, silica gel works well (see if theres a correlation with really cold & damp weather outside + triggered at night). If insects - spray. (my neighbours merc alarm kept going of at random in the nights - he eventually found a dead moth on the back seat and no more alarm triggers). good luck.

The 10AS unit can be interrogated with a diagnostic tools such as Nanocom to see what (i.e., which switch or sensor) triggered the alarm. Generally this is the sensible first step in diagnosing the cause.

Bypass bonnet switch as a test. But I had similar once and was the drivers door central locking mechanism, only did it when cold.

Very common issue is the bonnet switch up by the firewall. Bend the mounting bracket up about 1mm and see what happens

I would unplug the volumetric sensor, that was the fault on mine for a while.
As suggested the bonnet switch. It could also be any of the door switched randomly earthing out and the car thinking a doors opened when the alarms set. Also easy to check. You can also lock the door with just the key, it will lock the doors but not arm the 10as Instagram @defender_ventures Empire Tuning - Agent |

Check the battery voltage as well, it might be dropping below expected values. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R
