They do pack up and are standard Bosch parts so no need to get one from a specialist supplier.

I'd test it straight onto a battery to check.

The Speedster only works on one tone, I always say that whomever causes me to use it would here me screaming at them over the sound of the horn anyway.

You've done well, 3 sensible answers to a "I've lost the horn" post :lol:

Yup the 944 one is a bit quiet, I intend fitting an air horn when I finally sort the front out.
