Hi Guys

What's the law regarding musical air horns on Land Rovers?

I've seen them advertised on e-bay with a range of different tunes for £25 new (plus £7.50 postage).

I've got one for my uncle at his request (for a tractor), and am now tempted to get one my self (I have a 1990 110).

Thanks

James

I suspect they are not legal for road use, so you would need to retain your normal horn on the normal horn switch.

hiya i've got musical air horns but they are wired up to a seperate switch on the floor, i was told by an mot inspector that i would need to retain the original hooter for legal reasons. :D  :D

Ok, IANAL, so this may be complete rubbish:

Pre 1972 vehicles:  Yes, you can fit air horns, even musical ones.
Post 1972:  Air horns are legal if they are single tone only.

In both cases, the horn must be capable of operating without the engine running.  Ie, if driven off an air compressor, it must be an electric one.

Spot on Pete. :wink:

Musical air horns can be fitted to a Pre 1972 vehicle.
