My days of aggressive driving are well behind me! I'll check the wiring connections, thanks.

The clock spring in the steering column carries wiring for air bag, horn and steering wheel volume controls.
I once had a Freelander with a dead horn so took the airbag off and metered out the connections. Mine was an S and didn't have steering wheel volume controls so I reconnected the horn to use the spare paths. You might be able to do something similar.
It isn't difficult but you need to be very careful to do it right to avoid a loud bang.

If the horn and volume controls still work, as they do, does that rule out the clock spring being faulty?The clock spring in the steering column carries wiring for air bag, horn and steering wheel volume controls.

No. Each wire can break individually.
Thanks Andy. I'm not sure what kind of code reader the mechanic in the village uses but I'll ask him if can read the codes for me.

You will need a specific Land Rover code reader for the SRS system. You will be looking for driver's airbag fault which more than likely is the weak spot with the clock spring wires.
