I had something like this happen to the radio in my C5 and it turned out to be a fault on the BSI. Rather than risk immobilising the car I fitted and aftermarket radio and satnav. Shouldn't be to difficult to find the horn push lead and run it to a relay to feed the horn.

I think bypassing the BSI is my way forward. Am I right in saying it should have a live at the horn and earth's through pushing the horn?

I think the horn button goes to earth when used, in which case you will need live to the horn but I would check on that. As it commands the ECU I doubt it has 12v on it.. It shouldn't be to difficult to earth one side of it anyway. You will probably need a relay in the circuit as the current demand may exceed to rating of the contacts on the push.

Or you could wire a bell push or similar in.

The indicators on my 406 did that!
