Question

Well, I've bought a set of airhorns from halfords to replace the standard "swallow fart" horn.

I presume the horn is behind the passenger headlight. I've removed the thing, and there's still noise coming from somewhere.

Where's the horn then? And what the hell have I removed? It says "3A, 12V, 130dB" and makes a noise when 12v is put across it, but what's making the noise.

I'll regret this because it's a damn stupid question. May as well put it into muppet straight away.

Confused of Leeds.

Dave, don't be mean!!

The second horn is in front of the radiator, removing the grill above the bumper will reveal it.

Actually I didn't know there were two horns or where the second one was - was just guessing in my post - it's worked most of my life....

My wife helped me to find it yesterday evening. She kept on parping it and eventually I found it.

"15 minutes to fit airhorns" was someone else's post. It took me 15 minutes to get through the sodding packaging, never mind anything else.

I am the weakest link. Goodbye.

Cheers Dave. I've just discovered why I was having troubles beyond that...

The relay supplied was faulty, and stuck open. Thankfully I had a spare, and that works fine.

Good God, these things are a bit better!!
