Patheatic MK2 horn upgrade ??
Hi
One of the things that I dislike about the MK2 coming from my old MK1 is the single tone pathetic pipsqueak horn, I have just upgraded all my motorcycles with this amazingly good cheap snail horn pairs and I have a spare set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-New-L...72.m2749.l2649 Can I pick up the horn feed on a MK2 without taking the bumper off ?, on the bright side, My 75 has just passed MOT with no advisories at 152,000 miles and still looks great, it now deserves a proper horn !!!

why not fit the twin horns from a Rover 75?
the sound insulation is quote good and from inside the car they do seem quiet macafee2 |

I have been amazed just how good these cheapo chinese twin horn sets are, I first bought an expensive Italian Dineli soundbomb for my motorcycle and was totally underwhelmed even with a relay and sold it on ebay, I bought these snail horns as they were so cheap and as a pair (hi-Lo) they are brilliant. I ordered another 2 sets for my other bikes and was equally impressed, then I bought another set for stock :-) since I have them I may as well put them on the Rover, they are nice quality too

They look (sound!) great!
I always wanted a horn that shouts out "Out of the way, you B*****ds!". Or, my very own favourites, which I have been known to frequently lambast other vehicles with "What are you waiting for, Sunshine? Better weather?" And my very very favourite for people who cannot drive properly "People like you should catch the bus!!" My two daughters, who have had to put up with my driving for many years, could probably add a few others... I will be buying these horns, so I do hope they are an easy fit, for non-mechanics like me...

These look great for the price!
I'm a new owner to my ZT MKII and I do think the horn sounds pretty naff. I'll put this down on my "want / wish" list! I've got so many things to do I'm in a spin! Richard
