MOT not gone well
Just sitting down to enjoy a free coffee at BMW, and the guy comes in and tells me the horn isn't working, not what you need on MOT day with a week left to expiry. Only good/surprising thing was they told me first and didn't fail me on it, that would have killed me.
There is clicking coming from the passenger footwell, so I assume it needs new horns, surprised to see we have two, not sure I've ever heard more than one. Gone home to sulk now, no chance of getting this sorted in the next week

So is it down to under-use or over-use
Although it's a good opportunity to get a set of marine airhorns on there

A minor problem! What if she had failed on emissions? You would be inconsolable by now.

If it failed on anything I'd be inconsolable

flimper, I have a pair of working horns here.
I believe they can be accessed through the fog light access panel, but failing that by removing the splash guard under each front corner.
PM me your address and i'll get them in the post today if you need them.
In fact, just PM'd you my mobile number as I'll be out working on that coupe today.

Sorry to hear that Mark.
But at least you have a solution thanks to Norfolk Zed Rescue!

It's strange really. I've seen the car several times and it has a great spec even including extended leather and power-fold mirrors!
The only thing missing is Sat Nav, which these days nobody seems to want anyway!

I'd kill for a non-nav dash, its outdated and irritating having the screen plonked in the middle. My old si non-nav dash looked much nicer imo!

I think those are the only options, going back 10 years or so on a Sussex trip Mark went the wrong way (no satnav) and as he doesn’t have BT we couldn’t contact him
Further, no seat heating, no PDC, no HIFI, no cruise, no CF (?) - hence taking the p* out of him
