hi, very disappointed with the Captur's horn or rather lack of....I know the horn is behind the front grill, I have tried to remove the grill (can only see 6 screws on landing panel) to no avail, wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction as to how the grill is removed so I can access the horn.

have to agree with dantoo, renault have produced a stunning car and put a horn on it that sounds like something from a peddlecar on a fairground ride , i sounded the horn yesterday for the first time and the mrs didn't stop laughing for around 10 minutes

I'm used to it! Nice for tooting goodbye........

Dantoo are you Scottish?

Dantoo are you Scottish?

I sure am, but see me more of a north Britain, proud to be part of the union(hopefully)

Used the horn for the first time the other day. Sounds like a Micky Mouse toy. Pathetic !!!! - what on earth were Renault thinking of.
Tried to use it scare sheep that were on the road whilst we were touring the Lake District last week. It does not scare sheep!!! They just turned round and gave me a peculiar look.
I suppose we are all stuck with it now, but hey - what a embarrassing noise.

 

[dantoo]

just wondered what others thought before I fit new horn.....lol.

 

[awq]

Probably produces more noise !!

just an update, to remove the grill the whole bumper assembly needs to be removed,but if you remove the six screws under the bonnet and you have a smallish hand you can squeeze into where the horn is and replace it....

 

[awq]

Did you replace it yourself. What horn did you replace it with

not replaced yet....but thinking of twin air horns

really loud...he he he !!

Like the sound of it. Let me know if its better than the Micky Mouse horn fitted as standard.

Does it sound more Jacques Tati's car in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday? If so I'd love that!Edited by: RogerThat
