Come on then........what's the answer

Those buggers voting for air freshener are lucky this software hides who voted what 

Actually I think anything blocking the drivers vision is illegal and a fail, so if they wanted to be awkward and not remove it themselves it could fail? Fluffy dice spring to mind, or how big is the air freshener and wheres it hanging lol

Being a new member, you will be unaware that I cherish the VT30 I have, stating "Air Freshener".

Cherish? That wasn't quite what I meant...

..well you do show said fail cert to visitors quite regularly. (snigger)

break orrrfffff 

 

...so do us two get a prize?

What? You broke your Poopoooop...?

Steering wheel related?

Not being Toad of Toad Hall, I never use it (probably last used at last MOT ), so did immediately think steering wheel.  I'm more of a flasher, oooo-errr!

Don't think its wheel related - can hear the relay clicking when switch pressed.

Tried a replacement horn, and a replacement relay, still no workio.  Need to go through it methodically now.

Don't/shouldn't you have two horns? a 500Hz & a 400Hz to give a 'twin tone' horn. One of my horns stopped working, swapping over horns/wiring suggested it was a feed problem. The cause was that the wiring had been chaffed right through on one side by the convoluted conduit under the battery tray somewhere.

Yup, dual horns, but only have 1 spare in garage.  So unless my 2 on the car, plus the one in the garage has failed, I too will be chasing the wiring, so your post has been very helpful .  Bumper is off anyway, for the headlight removal, so hopefully should be easy to see if its in that area.

At last, I have guessed right

Headlights refitted at 7:15 this morning, just as it got light.  Brrrrrrrrrr.

Fault found with horn, bodged to prove, proper fix tonight (might struggle with one bit, might have to run off one horn until I can get a part), bumper back on, tweak the headlight aim to be close-ish.

Booked back in Fri morning.
