Ok so i got my new D2.. working fine.. now the bloody horn stopped working, checked the fuse which is fine..
When i press the horn button.. i can hear the relay in the fuse box clicking but no horn.. surely it just didn't die just like that?

Frustrating!
Could be an earth or connection issue at the horn end I suppose.

Area around where the horn mounts is a moisture trap and corrosion hotspot. Worth getting the grill off for a quick look

+1. Replaced both horns recently. I got rid of the foam horn surround as they don't let air circulate the area to dry it out. Treated rust while I was in there. I wouldn't have known about the rust if the horn hadn't packed in, so it must be another LR designed in failure.

Had this problem when I first got the car 9 years ago. Sprayed wd40 liberally through the grill. Problem solved.
