Matt Classic

Anyone swapped the horn on there car at all ? The one on my 00MY classic is pathetic. I popped to halfords today and bought one for a tenner, after losing the skin off my hand putting it on, it doesn't seem a lot better. Anybody fitted a decent one ? If so which ? (and I dont want to have to pi@@ about trying to make it fit)
Cheers

I wanted to put a decent air-horn on to improve things, but I thought they were illegal on vehicles after a certain year and thus were MOT failure items??

Guess it depends, eh?

Air horns are only illegal if they are the musical variety and cannot be fitted to a vehicle >1976.

The single or 2 tone airhorn is OK to fit.

Air horns are loud but sound gay IMO. You should have got the dual tone electro horns from Halfords (the red ones made by FIAMM I think) they are quite good certainly much better than the standard ones. I find that single-tone horns always sound pretty poor so it's well worth getting the dual tone ones.

Done this quite soon after I got the Scoob and am quite happy with it. Much easier to fit than air horns too, the Scoob has dual horns as standard (one behind the batt other behind the grille) so you just replace them in the standard locations and use the OE wiring. Only issue is the one behind the grille is a tight squeeze due to the new ones being much wider than the OE ones and you've gotta take care not to damage the radiator.
