    As a slightly related tangent and a bit of a threadjack (sorry T5ER), my hors sound like they are wrapped in socks and buried at the bottom of the laundry basket. In a submarine.

    Is this a known issue? Can both the horns be broken?

    spray a bit of wd40 up the horns mate could just be sticky or slightly rusted in side through damp

    just throw em away wayne, if you wanna let someone know your there just drop a cog n spin the wheels.

    theres debate on wether its a worthwhile mod for extra airflow
    (i doubt it does much personally).

    mostly they are moved for cosmetic reasons when new grills are fitted.

    Under the front bumper - nearside, just infront of the wheel is a bracket with 2 holes in (bear in mind I don't have oem fogs - this bracket may be for mounting these??). I relocated mine to there, as after having them on the plastic guard - as suggested in the relocating instructions, they filled with water and stopped working. (mind you I had recently charged through a rather large puddle and also may have been how I had them positioned - doh!).
    Wish I had a Volvo!
