If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

It is all humpbacked bridges round here, that are plenty wide enough to pass on, provided the other car is actually on their own side of the road.
On the way up I wind my window down, and toot my little horn. (This is The Other Car BTW, the horn is quite loud)
Honk-honk-honkity-honk-hooooonk! goes my little horn.
I listen for an answer, then trundle up, to meet another car, usually a Chelsea tractor- in the geometric centre of the road :pinch:
Clearly they can't hear anything through all that sound insulation and "beats".

I've just got two normal horns (i.e. similar to the original) but one's high and the other's low, so together they give a good old blast and supprise everyone as they don't expect an ickle jimny to be so loud.
you need a big one if you're going to use it in anger !
you wouldn't like me when I'm angry :blink:

Mine is of the Klaxon (Ah-oo-gah) variety, hidden away near the radiator. Really suits the cheeky little Jimny I reckon. The other day, wind blew a young womans skirt up and I leaned on the Klaxon (Vision of cartoon wolf behind the wheel, eyes popping out a mile) and she looked around, saw the Jimny and bent over and flicked her skirt up again :evil: Woohoo!

You all seem to be overlooking the obvious place for a decent horn to be fitted which is underfloor at the back.

You reading this, Jack??
We could fit double klaxons in there while we've got our floors out :whistle:
