They do pack up and are standard Bosch parts so no need to get one from a specialist supplier.
I'd test it straight onto a battery to check.
The Speedster only works on one tone, I always say that whomever causes me to use it would here me screaming at them over the sound of the horn anyway.

Yup the 944 one is a bit quiet, I intend fitting an air horn when I finally sort the front out.Helen Goff wrote:![]()
