    horn, compressor

    Anyone had an issue with their horn ??? Mine is trying to work, the compressor makes a sort of horn noise, I guess it's not working correctly and pumping air out to the horn... Has anyone used a different compressor ????

    A damn good spray of WD40 usually works. There's a pipe coming off the compressor that should be around the front headlight/intercooler area, spray it down that.

    Horn failure is notorious, excuse the pun. You have the compressor and the snail (horn unit). It's the horn snail that you want to spray some WD40 up. It's like clearing its throat.

    I just replaced mine with a generic twin horn one, nice and easy swap, plus sounds better!
