Probably not the answer you're looking for but have a look at this thread.

Two weeks prior to noticing that the horn had stopped working. I was hoovering the drivers side footwell out on my drive. With the drivers door open. For no apparent reason (did not touch the horn). The horn went off continuosly. After running around for a few seconds, like a headless chicken (felt like hours). I shut the door, re-set the alarm. Horn then went off.

If it the alarm it is not the horn, sure I've seen the alarm sounder up near the bulkhead, maybe wrong of course. |

Did you get any further with your horn fault? Mine has recently begun playing up, sounding some times and not others I have checked the fuse, its OK, and can hear a relay operating when the button is pressed. Before I take apart the front of the vehicle to get to the horns, does anyone know of any further checks I can make.

Thanks for the advice. I must admit I expected that but thought it might have been from CG. |

If it's an intermittent fault and you can hear the relay, then that probably rules out the steering switches.

There are two horns, so if your sound has changed it probably means one is not working.

Changed the horns yesterday. Now working OK. The job took 3+ hours with the help of a friend with the re-assembling. Probably could be done faster by someone not as old and decrepid as me. The Haynes Workshop Manual instructions were fairly good for the most part but the photos not very clear. The hardest part was getting the horn assembly out of the box section that it was hidden in. The old horns worked ok after the adjustment of tone screws, but I decided to fit new ones, £45 from Matfords Landrover, just to be safe. Couldn't face having to do that again. |
