Horny talk

Postby Black Knight » Thu Feb 21, 2008 6:09 pm

While it's in for MOT might as well get them to stick a decent horn on as I think the OE one is a bit of a poor effort!

Seen these

Anybody got experience of them? Any particular model fit or work better than others?

Thanks, will be ordering first thing tomorrow as its in on Tue.

I've got the nautilus and it stops trains / knocks birds out of the sky it's so loud. [smilie=mutley laugh.gif]
They warn not to trigger in an enclosed space like a garage - gives you some idea of volume.
You'll need to use heavy wire and relay direct from the battery tho' as it uses so much power.
Also, if you have a crap battery it'll suffer if you fire the horn without the engine running - may as well have a word with Winger about getting a decent one?
