Hi, to be a bit different i bought a klaxon horn for my build, im now thinking that i wont get through IVA with this can anyone confirm this? I dont want to buy a new horn unnecessarily, Thanks in advance Greg

Very much doubt it!

Best thing would be to fit the klaxon, get all the mountings right, then remove it and use a horn from the scrappy until you're through the IVA.

I wouldn't think it'll be allowed. Does it emit a 'continuous uniform sound' and 'perform to an equivalent level to that of a Type-approved vehicle'? That's what the manual requires.

No.
I had it disconnected and a propper one mounted next to it. Still do for MOT.
Havent got round to fitting a hidden switch to toggle them.
In daily use I would much prefer the real horn for prats who can't drive, but the klaxon to say hi to mates etc, so I'd recommend both.

Below a certain age they say hi by texting or should it be "txn" ?

In my day a txn was a cowboy in a ten gallon hat. Is this what is known as progress?

The car it's on has a 6.3 litre Chevy V8 with no wadding in the exhausts, so me and most of my mates are completely deaf!

What you need, is a Horn Blaster
