Hi Everyone. My 2001 Disco has just failed it's MOT due to the horn failing. A local LR garage advised, over the phone, that it was probably the contact ring behind the steering wheel, that the airbag would have to be deacivated, the wheel removed, and the ring replaced - total cost around £350. Ouch! They warned not to attempt it myself in case anything popped. The horn fuse is intact, the horns work if wired to a battery.

Can anyone help please.
 
Buy a momentary switch, and take a feed from battery to switch, then to horn, label clearly.. Hey presto quick fix to get you through a free re test?
 
Ahh balls only just seen your post count. You got lucky this time.. But please introduce yourself properly, not just a very qucik hi so you can go and ask a question then probably never come back ;) ... If you dont and never reply well then...
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for help I can tell you Id love to try... But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let introduce yourself now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
 
Newbie? Got a disco? Having problems with his "horn"? Come on, people! This guy's just asking for it.....

ps. welcome to landyzone - it's quite good fun, if you can take it.

Thanks for the kind response. You're either the site psycho or a charming chap with issues. Anyhoo, if you can offer some well thought advice, I may know someone who can help you.

He's a psycho with issues :behindsofa:

Good advice though....I know tis a bit of a posh motor but switch gaffa taped to yer dash with 'horn' written in tipex would be enough to get yer 12 month ticket if it comes to it.
