did they stopp fitting twin horns on later r25s?


All MG Rovers went to a single horn from the second half of 2003 onwards as this was part of the cost cutting scheme.

Find a Vi or any decent spec 90's Rover and get the low tone horn, that's what we have on our VVC. Also swapped onto my old daily drive MPi Mini. It's a straight swap. Warning though they are loud if you accidently set off the alarm !

I didn't worry about the second horn, just swapped the tinny high tone for the low tone horn - plugs straight onto the same connector. If I remember rightly, all you need to do to get to it is remove the passenger side wheel & wheel arch liner

They also reduced the size of the quater panel flag and removed the glove box damper in later MG ZR's
