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

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

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..!

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!

Jacking wise - the subframe is never a bad place to use.

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.

#26: Re: MOT failure - Horn not working. Author: clarky78, Location: NottinghamshirePosted: Mon May 23, 2011 11:39 am ---- Well warranty is paying so it should cost me about 150 for the lot fitted. if it's fixed thats all that matters.
