While looking at the front of my Tam, I saw something that didn't look like it belonged there. I pulled it out, and it's my horn!

What the hells going on! Could it have been left off when the HID headlights were put in? And where is it supposed to go?





Beginning to wish I hadn't spent so much on this car.....

ETA - would it be better if I bought a new one? Looks a pig to get to, though, looks like the rads in the way...

Cheers smile Looks like I shall be removing the bonnet sometime this week, then - although that looks like a 2-man job...

No need to take the bonnet off, I would do it through the access holes in the wing in the wing its easier in my opinion. You need two people to safely remove/replace the bonnet. If you do take the bonnet off, make sure you mark the bracket positions so you can align it correctly when putting it back on.

Cheers shep - I know (I read your FB message), but I wanted to try and remove the screen washer bottle too, to give that a clean and to see why the screen wash pipes are covered in black insulating tape..and to give the front exposed chassis a good clean.
