Was the second horn a project drive deletion ?
I've been thinking of fitting a second to mine but would really like an adapter look to keep things neat.
My ZR was retro fitted with the second one before I got it ,but last year after a long blast on the horn on the A38 the relay in the BCU failed.
I was told it was just a coincidence but I'm not sure

I had Trikey add a Klaxon to my ZT, hidden out of the way, operated with a separate switch, so the standard twin horns are for 'normal' use and the Klaxon for 'other' I'd previously asked the fella who mot's my cars for me, he said that the Klaxon on its own would fail as it's not 'instantaneous'
