CC as in Cruise Control? Yes just a stalk, chat with tech2. Manuals will need a clutch switch.

Expect to pay anything from £20 - £100 from Vauxhall Monkeys, cheaper via one of our admins, might be worth updating your profile with your location.

Regarding Alarm bonnet switch, its the main sprung in the centre which slots into the front member across the engine bay. Make sure this is well greased up  :y

I always thought the alarm bonnet switch was attached in the area of the passenger side suspension turret?

Must look for a picture.....

Correction.  Its beside the brake master cyl on the 2.2

I thought it was attached to that main spring? When that dries up its been known to set the alarm off?  :-/ :-/

Yes, it can set the alarm off - but only because the alarm switch is out of its correct postion in relation to the bonnet location, possibly courtesy of a fubar bonnet closure mechanism, but more likely being grabbed by a hand whilst stretching over the engine bay for a looksee........   ;)

It was on earlier cars, but seems to have moved to the other side on DBW-ish.
I assume your car's bonnet switch is on the driver's side, but if you look on the passenger side where they used to live, you'll see another 'spare' bonnet switch connector.  :y :y :y
