Horns!

My horn (on the truck) is pretty, well, Fiat 500 like

has anyone fitted this from Bolt on Bits? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12v-Klaxon-Old-V...930wt_1037

I fancy an awooga horn. Is it loud and where does it fit, it doesnt look like it would get behind the grille? Good things come to the wild and free

LOL I had to deliver to a factory the other day, greeted with a large roller shutter with a doorbell next to it - pressed it..... and there was this awesome loud 'dive' dive' submarine klaxon... had to press it a fw more times

Anyway when someone eventually lifted the shutter he showed me the horn(oo er mrs) and it was an ex-naval klaxon wartime era, I pressed it a couple more times before a fooked off laughing to myself! 2005 TD5 90 Hard Top

Where exactly is the horn located? Mine is beyond pathetic, either its

or was always kack. Think it needs a half decent 2 tone like you'd find on any modern car for about a tenner.

Looked through Rave but there's no mention of the horn and how to find it. 2016 D4 HSE

Your horns are located behind the headlamps on Td5 onwards.

It could just be me but I've got a feeling there's two one each side. Noticed when I changed headlights. But I could be wrong might have just noticed an empty hole. Wasn't paying much attention to horns.

I'd go with these: Ring twin air horn

The horns are essentially the same as 2 tone emergency 'dee daa' but it's only a single output compressor so you get a PWAARP.

Remember that your alarm sounds the horn, so if you have a habit of accidentally setting your alarm off when leaving for work early, your neighbours may well begin to dislike you

I thought so. Damn awkward to get to I think though. Wonder if it's only Puma's that have the two horns? Mine seems perfectly good no worse or better than to be expected.

I got a set of these on the 90, pretty decent sound and mounted nicely behind the grill, been on 3-4 yrs I guess with no problems.

They are a damn site louder than the old one was, no louder that the new 110 one but a bit 'harsher' maybe, I'll posts a pic when I get time
