Re: Where are the horns located?

Thanks! "Luckily" my under tray started drooping down so I removed it. I did look under there today but didn't see it. I guess I'll go for attempt two tomorrow! I guess you go from the underside to access it then?

Where are the horns located?

After my alarm went off my horn(s) seem to have died. I hear a relay clicking when pushing the horn button, which I have also tested are confirmed is working, but there is no horn sound at all.

In other news: I have managed to fix my horn issue; I took the button off and lo and behold - it was disconnected :lol: So that's fixed now. However, I have noticed another issue - the long range li...

Re: A happy new 480 owner with a lot of questions

Oh, I just remembered. When I first got the car, I drove it home and parked at which point I locked the driver side (left) door with my key, and then went to the other side to check if that door was locked.

Re: A happy new 480 owner with a lot of questions

Rear wiper and washer aren’t needed for MOT. High level brake light is, and the ABS light will fail too. Oh nice, I guess you're right! And the ABS goes out after starting the engine, so it's all good :P Ok guys! If I recall correctly, there are 3 cables there? Anyone knows what they all do? I gues...

Re: A happy new 480 owner with a lot of questions

Hello and a warm welcome to the club ! You will get plenty of help here from people who know a lot more than me, but I might be able to help with two things. The info centre has a back light - if the bulb is blown it becomes virtually invisible. Try looking at it in the dark. There is also a adjust...
