The sounder box is for my alarm BTW and its situated underneath the header tank

Yes ....

[Bobdope2002]

Yes ....

sounds as if it maybe goosed then

although.......saying that sometimes mine wudnt work for ages then id come to press it going round a blind bend and it would work.....

To take it off is a bumper off job though which is a PITA

[Dan1971]

Hmmmm .... Oh well.

[Ritchy]

not the sounder that does the horn,
the horn sits behind the front bumper and the original horn was pretty poor,
first thing id do is check the fuse, if its okay go to the horn

remove it and try power it off the battery, if you **** your pants when you touch the wires onto the battery then horns not the problem, if nothing need a new horn,

if horns okay check for power at the connector for the horn, test lamp and someone pressing the horn,

[Bobdope2002]

Hmmmm .... Oh well.

just shout at things out the window sounds much easier until Mot Time comes along

The horn on my car has died, but it isn't the factory one it is the secondary Hi tone horn from a 420 that is intermittent, even though the factory horns were crap and failed mine is still going after 7 years!!!
