Changing the horn......

[boris b]

Ok folks , i've had enough of getting pelters from mates about the sound of the horn [:'(].........Apparently its sounds " Girly" ( sorry girls , term used by others).[:$]

Where can i get a decent one ? I presume they are easy to change ?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Kit,

get some Daisy Duke airhorns mate[] You can get replacements from most motor factors and are a piece of..... to replace/fit!

I doubt these are a 'direct bolt-on replacement' for a Scoob and you'd probably get an asbo for these but they are very cool. []

I replaced the old "girly" horn on my old wrx with twin air horns.  A bit fiddly to fit, but got them in there and they were loud, but still a bit high pitched.

 

Thinking of changing again on my new scoob as the foreign truck drivers here in Dover are f****ing blind and deaf.

 

I happen to have a Stebel Nautilus in my cupboard and will be putting that on soon.  It puts out a decent "barp", but it's a bit bulky and fitting it may need some lateral thinking....

 

Nige.

You could check both horns are actually working...

When one fails, it sounds like "peep peep, s'cuse me can you please let me through?...", whereas with both working properly, it should sound like "oi! get tae f*** oot ma road, am cummin through!"

The bumper was off at the time so yes it was easy to fit so i am told.  They are in a rather awkward place though.

Got them from one of the Subaru sites i think, scoobyworld or one of the other ones, can't honestly remember as i got them ages ago.

£27.99 from Scoobyworld!

i have this on my car. can get them from halfords for £18

just remove the horn on the near side behind the head light and u can use

the 2 wires that are there

no need to use the relay as the car has its own relay for the horns.

I was through at Livi today so I popped into Halfrods & bought a Stebel Nautilus - £17.24

I'll fit it later on if it stops raining

I find a blip of the throttle is more effective than the horn in my car. Certainly louder.

[boris b]

Thanks for all the advice guys. [Y]

Will visit Halfrauds on Monday and get a set...

[Johnny50]

Can you not use the ones from yer company car ???  []

[boris b]

Now there's a thought [Y]

I think that someone would notice the lack of sound at some point.....[]

Oobster,

Whereabouts did you locate the Nautilus..?  I'm having issues finding a decent placing for mine...

 

Nige.

[oobster]

Nige - i've got the WR1-style front lower grille on my car so it's behind there - I got the black Nautilus so that it isn't seen.

[the blue dragon]

Ive got the black nautilus also, i managed to get mine in behind nearside headlight. there was a very convenient space betwenn it and the battery [].
