Cant stand the sound of it .. so will replace it with the mother of all horns "The Stobol "nautlius. Scares the living daylights out of pedestrians.

But I look under and over the engine bay and can I find the horn??? No !! I bet its hideen under some cover held down by more Torox screws !!

"But I look under and over the engine bay and can I find the horn???"

Have your glamorous assistant depress the horn button while you use your ears to track the source of the noise?

Underneath looking up under the corner, might be part of the undertray in the way

Once located - cut the wires. No need to remove bumper, wing and spllash covers just to remove a dump standard horn 8)
Use the horn wires to feed a relay then use the relay contacts to power whatever you want to shout at the poor pedestrians

Remeber an in-line fuse from batery plus to fire protect your home made circuit.

I agree with Anders - don't bother trying to get the old one out just mount the new one behind a wheel arch mpoulding and run a new pair if wires to it.
