Easy to fit one of these in the front right of the engine bay. I have one

JDM Performance - Stebel Nautilus Compact Horn

Plug and play, direct replacement for the existing horn no wiring to be done. Leave the other of the two originals connected too.

You can get some decent twin horns from ebay for around £5 that work well.

I had them on my new age before, and they don't half get people out your way that might cut you up on roundabouts !

Sounds good and I can't wait to have mine fitted Stu, Where under the bonnet did they fit them? Just behind the grill? As there is not a lot of room to play with!

I can second that, Got one on my rally car although run it through a relay with a direct battery feed. It's bloody loud. Scares the **** out of the kids when they get in the way trying to act smart.

Was louder in my new age than in my classic. I imagine the wiring is different.
