Happened to the D2 that Junior now owns - 2 Hella units bolted in and all good to go.

Thought I would follow up with this. Checked the relays and it clicks when the horn button is pushed so the horns are D.E.D. :( swapped the relay just to make sure and same result. Just need to order some new horns now. Undecided between Supertones or Sharptones. :spudnikwhat:

Cheers, Chris :twobeers:

Just need to swap the plug for a couple of spade connectors (or make up a patch loom if you're so inclined) they bolt straight in place of the old ones..

Hi Tombie,

Did you have to wire in the relay as well or just modify the plugs?

Cheers, Chris

After listening to some tube videos decided to go with the Sharp tones. Ordered, should be here late next week.

Already has a relay, just modified the plugs to suit!!!!

Even bolt to the factory points...

Sharp tones arrived today. They are bigger than I thought they would be. Very yellow.

Hopefully get them Fitted up on the weekend once ?I get the Disco back off my BIL.

Be nice to have a working horn again. :eek:

Cheers, Chris:beer:

Sharp tones fitted this afternoon, horn work again.

They are quieter than What I thought they would be.

Great to have a working horn again.

Seeing that they are pointing directly into sound deadening foam that they are quiet is not surprising.
If you were to turn them 90degrees they would be much louder at the front of the car.
This is why I fitted Hella scroll horns pointing forward when my RRC horns died.
