Hi Vicki,

You'll get an aerial on this website in the shop, think it's 35 quid

Horn is mounted down behind the grill there is a single fuse and a relay involved, several people have reported faulty relays in the past also the connectors down the steering column have been known to come apart;

Just changed my horn.
It has never worked, mot means it needs to work now.
Grill off, rh indicator out, and headlight out.(easy to do)
This gives good access to everything.
The wires had come apart from the huge bosh horn that was fitted.
Could not be repaired and fitted cheapo ebay twin air type horns(no compressor).
Purchased rear exhaust and then found the other part was also burst, so now have two new parts.
Brake pads are all needing changed (all worn down to the same level which is good news).
One front wheel bearing needs changed as well, I knew that noise would show itself eventually.
Need part number for that little part, will get one when I remove old one.
