So my Omega has a rubbish 'parp' sound for a horn....reminds me of an '02 Vectra we bought new a few years back......can the horn be replaced ? Don't want anything crazy, but a basic two-tone horn would be perfect.....
-
most if not all miggys have 2 horns that are situated in front of the n/side wheel under splash guard, if you put after market ones on you will probably have to adapt the wiring as the miggy has oval weatherproof type plugs.
-
Two horns ? Meaning two-tone ? My horn is very much just a single tone - that is what I want to change.....so perhaps a replacement Omega horn is the job ?

I think they should be something like a 400Hz & a 500Hz horn.

So sounds like one of the the two has died on my car, I guess - does tapping with a hammer help ? ;)

standard horns i find are loud enough, made some people jump when they pull out in front of me.
I find full beam, plus a long blast has the desired effect = get out of the bloody way! ;D

FWIW new horns are £20odd each. I bought a new one for my Astra G recently.
