That is truly ugly.

Just wait till you find out which SE'r bought it!!!
P.S
I could do with the hub puller too....

Ali,

I've got a 2/3 leg puller which should work if you still need one.

Thanks Kev, I'll give you a shout when I'm back (and have the car back) next week.
Maybe also do Gareths - mini spanners?

No worries

I fly out to Florida on the Friday next week, so if it comes to it, I can always organise to drop it off with Gareth.

Are you sure that the mechanism requires two wires? It may be that the switch in the steering wheel connects the one wire to earth to activate the horn; that would then assume there was an earth available, perhaps from the way in which the steering column is connected to the car? I would try running a known good earth to touch the wire that you've found and see if it beeps the horn (unless it's obvious that there should be a second wire, e.g. witnessed by the presence of a second spade terminal with nothing connected to it ...).

Cheers,

I got a proper look at this today, horn push worked fine when 2nd spade terminal grounded. There was also a spring clip thingy which looked like it was supossed to provide a ground to the wheel mount (when this was grounded properly it worked). Anyway, 'adjusted' the clip and all good.

Additionally I hardwired a 3-way 12V socket (switched power from the stereo). It's mounted below the dash for phone and satnav charging and adds a 'fast & furious' blue neon lighting to the footwells.
When I had the stereo out discovered why the radio reception had been poor...reconnected the aerial.

Excellent job on the blue LED. Now you need Nox cylinders and a dodgy laptop bolted to the footwell and then an infinite selection of downshifts and you'll be a real street racer ...

Beep beep.

Yeah took them off.

Of course minus that 50kg of extra front end downforce I understeered off into the first hedge...
