This might be a stupid question but is it normal to have no audio or visual indication when locking the car?
Mine does nothing, so no idea if it’s locked unless you can hear the actual locks. I’m pretty sure my old one gave a short blip sound and maybe a flash of the hazards but it was an EU import so had an aftermarket alarm on it which could be why it was different. It was also nearly 20 years ago so every chance my memory is playing tricks on me.
In the US, if using the Honda fob there is no beep or chirp when locking.
If you press again after the first lock the horn will beep, but only if you press it again after the first press. Not sure if the fob in UK is the same or not.
Every one of my cars does this and only one (1) is a Honda. So common I suspect it to be universal:
Press [Lock] one time and all the doors lock and some of the lights flash. Immediately press it a second time and the horn beeps once to confirm the locked condition.
Check the bonnet switch. My hazards stopped flashing and it turned out to be the switch next to the bonnet catch.
Open the bonnet and you'll see where it plugs in (just to the right of the bonnet catch). Unplug this and see if the hazards now flash .
yeah that’s it. Thanks
I unplugged that connector and I got the flashes on lock and unlock. What was the actual issue for you? Is there a switch on the back of the bonnet catch that needs sorting?

To be honest, I didn't bother to investigate any further . The switch and bonnet catch are pretty much in the firing line for all sorts of damp and detritus to be thrown at them so its not too surprising for one of them to break down over time.
If you get the urge to deep dive into it, let me know (although I'll still probably do nothing ).
