Beep beep

[davidf]

I had ocassion to use my horn for the first time today. Although I had heard it before, I hadn't noticed how puny it sounds. I know TVR uses components from other cars, what is the horn from, a Robin Reliant?
Has anybody been bothered enough to upgrade the horn? Any suggestions?

Full of crud?
My 350 had 2. Not sure about this one.

Mine sounds OK!
Perhaps you had two and one has given up the ghost.
Time for replacement / upgrade ?
the start of a long slippery slope....

SOP - Buy new (used) car, replace OEM horns with air horns.

Same here, don't use the horns that often (people always hear me approaching, for some reason ) but came to use them the other day and got a very feeble beep.

Yoinked them out and replaced with a pair of air horns, much more convincing noise now. The old horns that came off seemed to have stuff rattling round inside (gravel?) which may explain why they were knackered.

Cheers,

Alternatively your favourite car store beginning with the letter H will sell you two FIAMM horns (there is a set of a high and a low tone) which does a pretty good job...

... for best effect stick them on opposite sides of the car..!

Peter:
I'd have thought that your driving style would best be served by a set that play 'Dixie' like the General Lee..... yeeeeehhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Hmmm.... bags I first go with Daisy....

And for just a bit more change, you can get

"STAR TREK® MUSICAL AIR HORN
A must-have for every Trekker—especially when not traveling at warp speed! 6 powerful trumpets play the first 12 notes of the unmistakable Star Trek® theme."

With my car performing as it is I should get a Steptoe and Son theme tune.

[Wedg1e]

Perhaps, after my recent brush with the law, I could get the theme from 'Police,Camera,Action'?!

Or maybe 'Crimewatch' or 'The Bill'....

My original 280 had one duff horn when I bought it- sound very naff (Fiesta like)

Ah, when I was a lad I fitted the 5 horn set up inder the lid on my Triumph Herald convertible. La cucaracha I think was the tune they played. It really pissed of the other occupants of the then girlfriend's street as I gave her early warning of my arrival...and they were legal in those days... Am I giving my age away?
