Jack the front of the car up and you can just about get to it from the front without removing any. I'm betting its a corroded connector on the claxon as my old Pug had the same problem. I could get to it without removing any trim by getting underneath and undoing the bracket it's attached to. Soldering upside down is a nightmare though 
You could fix it yourself very cheaply by prodding around and having a look

also the grill clips (hog ring clips) easily break and are cheap as chips on ebay, or even not that dear from a dealer, dw about that  even if you need a new grill they are cheap too.

Ive never seen the clips cheaper on Ebay.
Ive always found a Peugeot / Citroen main dealer is always cheaper

What clips? the clips that broke on both the upper plastic and the gril are both part of the actual trim.
I realise it is probably a rusty connection, but the airbag light needs fixing and I knew it would end up at the garage for that anyway.
I hate jacking the pug up I find it impossible to get a good jacking point that doesnt result in something bending..!

OK, Peugeot reckon it need's a new horn AND a new comm2000! That last one was fitted by this dealer in July 2009 under warranty.. Fingers crossed it still gets done under warranty, but the warranty expires in 6 days... Either way it's gonna cost me a fortune! POS car!

I'd find a local independant that can help bud. Wouldn't trust a stealer.
Jacking wise - the subframe is never a bad place to use.

I assume the warranty company have authorised it as I haven't heard anything since I told the dealer to ring them. If I took it somewhere else, I'd be charged the diagnostic anyway, and if it does need the com2000 I'd be no better off.
