Learning from Eddy, I bought a bonnet catch with a built in switch. It was advertised as a Range Rover P38 bonnet catch latch sensor switch. I have since fitted it and it is fine. So switched bonnet catches should not be so difficult to find. I tried to find a place on the instrument display where I could etch a suitable pattern as a warning light. On the Rover display there are two blacked out positions but I made a pig's ear out of the job so I have given up and will resort to a logic circuit triggering a small warning buzzer. If anybody is interested in the electronics I would be delighted to swap ideas.
