Ok i have found 3 more relays behind the side kick panel on the near side side and there is the relay that is klicking when i press the horn i have changed the relay and still not working so
1 should i run a new wire from the horn button to the horn
2 should i run a new wire from the relay to the horn
3 buy a new disco

How about running 12v straight to the horn to test it. Then you'll know if it's the horn. If it's not, check there is 12v coming out of the relay (eg with a bulb, if you don't have a multimeter). If it's neither of these then it must be the wiring.

Are your hazards & indicators behaving themselves?
I was cut up recently as I was indicating left off a roundabout, so I leant on horn & then when the git in front turned off he got another blast of the horn, or would of if it was working.
Rest of way home the left indicator dash light was going at double speed and no horn.
Anyway, short story long and all that, I had a poor earth connection to the bumper mounted left hand rear indicator.

If the wipers are slow too then it sounds like a poor earth. But I suggest you track it as per my post above.

Does the horn have its own earth?
If you have power to the horn try another horn onto the spade and earth the horn to the battery
The other thing maybe you have 12v but low amps coming out the feed wire
