I'm kinda fed up with the standard pathetic high pitched horn on my car. I don't want a train horn, but just something a bit meaty and sounds decent

I heard Rover 600s have good horns? Excuse the pun. lol

600 have 3 horns. I think one behind each front bumper corner and one above the right hand wheel arch.

Alot of the other Rover have duel horns, each horn makes a differnt pitch so they do sound better. I've get a pair of horns from a 25 and wire them up.

Montegos have 2 metro horns on a metal bracket which I fitted to the mk1 metro which was good. They are behind the front left corner of the bumper.

Thanks for the help Martin. I dunno what a 25 one sounds like. Anyone got a youtube clip or anything of one? I just think the Metro, well 100 one sounds a bit pansy. My mate has an awesome one on his mini- great for hooting up girls at the bus stop! lol

EDIT: After research, I've seen that earlier 25s have twin horns which seem to be better than the later single low tone horn?

The Metro/100 has the high note horn, all you need to do is get a low note horn from any other MG Rover that has twin horns fitted and link it in and you will have a loud decent sounding horn

Ok cheers mate. It's funny all the people with later 25s etc.. go to scrap yards looking for early 25s etc... with the high note to match the low tone only on late cars not realising that Rover 100s have the high tone only. lol

yes they did, on the later 25's they just had a single tone, best bet is a r200 bubble as they all had twin tone, or a mk2 renault espace.. has a air horn as standard behind front bumper on drivers side. i had the espace one on my gta in 2007 at mgm and the alarm went off.... which was loud! LOL
