The CDV is a physical adaptor that restricts the flow of clutch fluid, if you want to get rid of the symptoms it introduces you need to remove it.

Re: Yet another alarm question
The bonnet switch and the radio anti theft switch located behind the radio are culprits for this type of false alarm, I'd try the bonnet switch first though, the bonnet fails to push down the switch enough sometimes, a little spacer or screw on top of the switch will confirm.
