yet another question.

[Squeaks]

your all gona wish id never found this site soon lol

i went to use my horn in anger tonight and it didnt work! now im sure it worked the other day when i used it.

it says in all the paper work its had issues with the horn before but doesnt say what.

is it going to most likely be the s/wheel bit or the horn unit?

need to get it sorted as MOT time in Jan.

many thanks

The horn itself behind the bumper has a habit of failing. I would check that first.

Mine used to play up .... It got water in it I think. Press it in and hold it for a while .... It seemed to clear.

Other than that ..... No idea.

while im asking questions lol.


the car has a air induction kit on it & the air pipe goes right down into the bottom of the wheel arch, now i can see this being a problem with floods, where could it be moved 2? anyone got any ideas? ( my lane tends to flood so better do something)






thanks ill try the horn bit first tomorrow.

Mine works, but in the excitment of wanting to use it can never hit the little buttons!!!

As Paul says it seems fairly common failure.

I have a spare one just incase my one goes.

Phate on here was breaking his 180 after a rear end shunt, dont know if he has got rid of the horn yet!!!

If it's this deep then you'd need a snorkel


If you are keeping the OE system then make sure the pipes are all connected and if need be tanktape the joints. The main culprit is the lower hose that goes from the bottom of the filter housing to the resonator.

You have a spare eh, wonder how you came about that



With regards to the feed for the air filter, I have mine running into the inner wing and taking the air from reasnobly high up so water ingress shouldn't be a problem Check maybe yours is the same, if not just get the end up high as you can

lol. no joking here it can get that deep, when it flooded earlier this year just managed to get out in the rangerover sport but it was right up the doors.

i stay in bed when its that bad lol

I wouldn't take the ZS out in deep water, just ask R1SCO! He drove into what he thought was a puddle, was deep and hydro-locked his engine.

gives me an excuse to stay in bed if its flooded lol.

when i took the F through it after the water had gone down abit it was like driving a yellow submarine. ( pete could try it after all he has a diesel then he could be the yellow submarine ) lol
