Update
firstly, Notanumber thank you for the offer but id already ordered one from MGFNMGTFBITZ.
it arrived and I've fitted it. In the process I've found i can bend like a contortionist, ouch!
When i plug in the horns and blip the alarm it doesn't go off any more result!
..... however still no horn off the steering wheel button still. Ive checked the coupler and i don't think I'm getting continuity through it. So I'll order one.
in the process I've snapped off a tab from the tiny horn button mounted in the steering wheel which is a swine.
This little car is really testing me!!
I'm starting to think this car has had a life of issues as many bolt heads and screw heads are mashed up. Dodgy twisted wires etc. It's only been owned by my god parents who would not of touched a spanner, it makes me think a rough garage has done this.

Hi Airportable, is it's the part numbered 67 on this drawing that you are referring to?

Next is to get the horn working so I can book the MOT. I'm doing lots of research as it appears there are a number of causes for the horn to not work.
I also have ugly sealant around the rear lights which I need to remove.

Many thanks for the link. I'll pop the wheel off and have a look.
The coupler wouldn't explain why the alarm sounds as soon as I lock the car. I assumed the horn not working and the alarm sounding where linked ?

It sounds like a job for a professional. I may rig up a red neck horn to get it through the MOT as the local auto electrician is busy till October.

Thank you thank you.
I was going nuts not being able to find out.
I've obviously put the wrong one in the wrong hole (oi oi 😜). So I'll swap this over this evening.
thank you again

It appears so.
Not sure if they screw in to the same void space in the engine? It looks like they do. If so I guess the orientation doesn't matter much???
I can't find a clear diagram and rimmer brothers have he confused now

So I have a temp guage that does nothing and the same for the oil temp guage.
The two coolant sensors (from what i can see) have the same thread and electrical plug size.
everyone keeps mentioning the colours but that's useless to me as everything is black.
One goes in vertical and one horizontal.
Please can someone clarify the part nunber for the vertical one and the part number for the horizontal one?
ive just fitted part number - MEK100061 and id like to know if its in the correct hole
It's a 1.8 vvc 1997
thank you

A red fuse box under the steering wheel? I didn't know there was one there, I'll go and check.
thank you

Morning,
so I'm off work today and thought I'd have a look at the horns not working. Tested both horns direct to the battery, low as heck!!
checked the horn connector and both read 0.16 volts when the ignition is on but nothing changes when i press the steering wheel button.
also check the fuses under the bonnet and all as lovely.
Where should I look next?
