Location of the horn

Post by Mikey B » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:36 pm

Can anybody tell where the horn is located?

I have bought these today from M & P's for a tenner and want to fit them.

130dB's so should sound better than the original.

Below offside headlamp - you need to remove headlamp to get at it.

It would be worth fitting a relay to drive them as they could drawer too much current for the original switch. Did that on mine & never had any problem.

Fitted them, positioned either side of the radiator.

Vast improvement over the original.

So why do you need to have a louder horn??? :?

I can perhaps remember having to use my horn twice in the last 12 months, both a gentle toot just to announce my prescence.

Down here in South Wales, some of the roads in the Gower are rather narrow with blind turns - I always give a blast on the horn to warn people that I am approaching. The louder the better.

Not only that the original horn sounded poxy - should be on Noddy's little car not on a big Bongo.

Received my horns from M&P on Friday and fitted them today. Although they are certainly louder than the strangulated chicken original, they are nowhere near 130db. Certainly worth £9.99 though.
