John k Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 It would appear that both my horns have stopped beeping, not even sure if one stopped a while ago and I hadnt noticed as they only get used at mot time! Do I need to replace both or would one do? Wiring is ok as I'm getting continuity when the horn button is pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Personally, I think you need the loudest horns you can get on a classic car, given the total lack of consideration frequently displayed by drivers of modern vehicles towards classics! You can source after-market pairs of new horns on Fleabay and Amazon cheaply enough, or you could do as I did and fit a pair of Maserati air horns driven by a compressor, although you will need a relay and some wiring for that one. The resultant ear-splitting banshee scream is quite handy when you next get a truck driver who has been awake since he left Eastern Europe with a bent tachograph deciding to change lanes while alongside you, and you end up taking avoiding action by swerving into the hard shoulder...

John k Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 As much as I fancy a set of La Cucaracha air horns I think my mot man would have something to say about them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think you only need one for the MoT but they are not expensive and are sold in pairs on eBay and all the usual Triumph suppliers, so I would replace both if you are sure that is the problem. In my experience horn not working is usually a bad connection somewhere, often an earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
