bleeding hell, stupid mot guy has broken one of my horn buttons, im assuming it was him as i have never had the need to use my horn. driving along this morning and it just fell out :evil: does anyone know if they can be replaced without taking the wheel apart, it looks as though it is possible, cant say i have ever seen just the buttons on flebay though :evil: mine has broken the retaining bit off the back as is beyond repair, well beyond useable repair that is. :evil: :evil:

oh yeh sorry forgot that part, yes it is non airbag :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops: its the bottom left button, there apears to be some small tags which i think just clip (spring out) under the wheel, all i have now is bare metal and a spring :evil: i was thinking of just blanking it off as i do have another 3, but would this be an mot failier? :? tampered with horn or something :?
i supose as long as i can still sound my horn it should be ok :?
i did think maybe i could use the hole for a different switch for something else, duno what mind, then a funny thought struck me, it went something like this - me driving along minding my own, then tit in front desides to pull out on me, me goes for the horn - - - aghhhh crash--------- sory officer, i went for my horn but hit the nos instead :lol: :P :P :twisted:

i replaced one on mine about 8 or 9 years ago
i was able to buy a single horn button from Honda for about £8 - they may have gone up a bit since then.
Its a push fit - so no need to take the steering wheel off - 30 second job max

yep it did look like a push fit, i was thinking i could just cover the old button with leather, remove the gubins inside and stick it perm in place :D or just spend £8 for a new one :cry:


:shock: :shock: :shock: £8 for a piece of placy :evil:
