Not sure if anyone knows of any common faults with Gaylander 2 horns.
Went to use horn yesterday and nothing. Checked fuse and relay, both fine. Tried setting alarm wuth door open, no warning honk.
So gather horn push is ok and its both horns gone kaput. Or wiring fault somewhere. It worked last time I pushed horn button on steering wheel a few weeks ago but it's one of those things that doesn't get use very often.
Does anyone have any known issues as don't fancy removing front bumper and lights to gain access. Would rather just buy a loud airhorn and fit that in place.
Thanks for any help on offer.

I suspect that calling the Freelander by a derogatory name isn't going to get much of a response.

It's OK, swatts70 isn't gay, his boyfriend is though.

Thanks for all the help.
Can see why Defender and Disco owners call it a gaylander now.
At least Disco's break sensibly.

Defectives and Discos are gay too. None of them are real Land Rovers!

Series. They were made by Rover, and later British Leyland. And called Land Rovers, to differentiate them from the road cars.

Everything since is badged as a Land Rover, but actually made by Ford, BMW, or Tata.

Try jumping the horn directly to the battery to see if it works.
Does anyone else sense the presence of far too many tratterers in this thread?

There are a few, but I don't answer questions where derogatory names are used.

I watched the football on itv and they were advising something for people who can't get the horn.
Would that help?

The pitch invasion was a minor retaliation on years of tratterers frequenting this ere Freelander section with mischief, contempt and p*ss taking. Not that many years later they're now buying Freelander's cheap. Freelander's rule.

Yes. It's the smell of pig muck that gives it away.

They're mistaken. It was the tratter that won the gay icon award. Not the Freelander.

Disco's break sensibly? Does one include rust when making such a statement? They do rust. They like to rust. Feeding tin worm is one of the few certainties of a disco.
