Mutley Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'm after replacing the horn for something louder than a mouses f4rt!?! I'm after something that is more URGENT sounding and not the twin trumpet type!?! Heard BMW Horns were supposed to be loud and abrupt!?! Are they an easy install or does anybody recommend anything else??? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutley Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 @Anderzander 🤣🤣 You gonna sell it??? 🤣🤣 That's at least 2 Decibels louder than mine!?!... 40 years of parts storage That's impressive! And NOT even a Land Rover part at that!?! 🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThreePointFive Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Time for an unpopular opinion... I have witnessed people that fit train horns or other 'intimidation' devices are always looking for an excuse to use them, which leads to creating situations. I find the twin TD5 horns are perfect for their only legal purpose; alerting other road users to your presence. They're not a great horn for the old Retribution Honk, but I think that's in its favour. No escalation, everyone gets on with their day. Honking at someone isn't really winning, is it? The roads are a ****ty enough place as it is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 #ThreePointFive Opinions May Vary!?! If I'm going to use my horn, the situation has already escalated! And if some muppet takes offence because a loud sharp tone has highlighted his/her/they error then so beit!!!.... I would rather PI55 somebody off to avoid an accident and get home ALIVE!!! So Back to the original question??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike BMW indicators, which are always brand new as they are never used. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 @JeffR Yep that about figures with BMW Drivers 🤣 Any other car makes worth looking at??? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 VW horns (snail type) are rather loud and pretty effective, fit as a pair with opening down over otherwise they fill with water (don't ask.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
