I don't want a train horn, but just something a bit meaty and sounds decent I heard Rover 600s have good horns? Excuse the pun. lol | ||

![]() MP Admin Posts: 17870 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Gloucester | 600 have 3 horns. I think one behind each front bumper corner and one above the right hand wheel arch. Alot of the other Rover have duel horns, each horn makes a differnt pitch so they do sound better. I've get a pair of horns from a 25 and wire them up. Montegos have 2 metro horns on a metal bracket which I fitted to the mk1 metro which was good. They are behind the front left corner of the bumper. | ||

Anyone got a youtube clip or anything of one? I just think the Metro, well 100 one sounds a bit pansy. My mate has an awesome one on his mini- great for hooting up girls at the bus stop! ![]() EDIT: After research, I've seen that earlier 25s have twin horns which seem to be better than the later single low tone horn?

![]() Expert Posts: 1304 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: in the 100 at the seaaaaaside! | yes they did, on the later 25's they just had a single tone, best bet is a r200 bubble as they all had twin tone, or a mk2 renault espace.. has a air horn as standard behind front bumper on drivers side. i had the espace one on my gta in 2007 at mgm and the alarm went off.... which was loud!

Expert Posts: 1228 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Find a Vi or any decent spec 90's Rover and get the low tone horn, that's what we have on our VVC. Also swapped onto my old daily drive MPi Mini. It's a straight swap. Warning though they are loud if you accidently set off the alarm ! | ||

Expert Posts: 1228 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I didn't worry about the second horn, just swapped the tinny high tone for the low tone horn - plugs straight onto the same connector. If I remember rightly, all you need to do to get to it is remove the passenger side wheel & wheel arch liner Edited by 100Vi 18/9/2011 2:44 AM | ||
