Nautilus air horns are as good , but a lot easier to fit. A number of people on D3 site are fitting these in replacement for standard horns, though wiring should be checked to make sure it is correct.
I had one fitted to my old 101 and 110. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&key...mt7j05jb_b I also have a large air horn trumpet. T rig this means the need for installation of a compressor and tank. Great if you want to inflate tyres etc, but a lot of hassle just to occasionally only blow a horn. |

This has been done several times before:

Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.

I just installed that Wolo road warrior 845. Found one for 50USD.
http://www.wolo-mfg.com/truck.htm http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wolo-845-Road-Warr...mp;vxp=mtr Sounds great, but I underestimated the space available under the hood to fit a lenght of 55cm and 16cm diameter. Now it is behind the steering guard. |

did you need an air tank and compressor kit with it? have been looking at the chief horn works out at about �185 with the compressor kit plus postage |

That one, like some others as well, comes with a direct drive compressor, size like a fist, that was the easy thing to fit next to or rather together with one of the radiator fixings. Just for the horn itself I had to prepare a simple bracket using existing holes in the frame as I did not want to mount the thing visible. |

As Puma horns are also the anti-theft alarm, the appeal is greater than just noise making for its own sake. Unless accidental triggering of course.

Very true. Especially if the system is a bit more unique that way you will no that it is YOUR Defender and not another vehicle ![]() ___\⭐️Lone|Star|State/___ ____\We|Will|Win/___ ____/🇬🇧🇺🇸\____ _//*⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰*\\_ |

I think low frequency & high decibels are the answer. Attracts attention & stuns any theif more than the high pitched shreiks & tweets most ignored alarms have. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Yup I've had two of these now, one on my old MG ZS and the other on the last 90. Both times it was just a case of swapping the spade connectors over to the new horn. The hardest part on both was getting to the horn in the first place ![]() |
