Reminds me of the chattanooga choo choo.........:D: :D: :D: Brilliant find, you can just imagine the train coming round the bend :lol:

Go for it! I put a cracking pair of horns on my BMW motorbike after some numpty nearly had me off :eek: I blew the standard horn and I could hardly hear it myself so bought a pair of hi-lo horns, if you blow the horn now it wakes the dead B)

Kingo :thumbsup:

PS This one sounds more like a standard car but a more compact design, great sound too!!

Just be aware that there is not a whole lot of room between the grille and the rad. I used a pair off a 5 series Beemer and they just fitted with a bit of bracketing. Sounds a lot more grown up now. The originals sounded like Roadrunner

I fitted a triple racing horn type set to the number 1 - squeezed into a space next to the alternator but loud enough to warrant attention. Of course it needs to be loud to alert the folk a mile ahead :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Sounds like a good set up mate lol

I take it I can just fit one horn using the wire and just disconnect the horn on the other side??

Yup... the standard Rav4 horn is a joke and sound like a 'Noddy car'; I am too embarrassed even to use it! I just ordered the Stebel... it looks the biz, I sure hope it moves some air (hair!) :eek:

I have a German boats Klaxon in my garage... now that is VERY loud , but runs on 24v and is a about 14" long (arguably two tone, so may not be legal) so would be difficult to fit in the Rav. The Stebel should do... :yes:

Horns on many cars are just rubbish. Ford used to be particularly bad with them, my aunts old fezza sounded like a stabbed duck.

A big vehicle needs a big horn! :yes:

Hey Ancs

When you put your new horns in did you have to cut the wire on the old horns and fit a new plug??

I managed to sort out that spare wheel. Fits like a glove, new wheel, tyre and 5 studs for £140 delivered so I couldent turn it down. Thanks for all the help and offer though. Appreciated

Its a bit mean really but there is something funny about making somebody jump. I used to have a company Montego (I know, I know) and if I was feeling a bit mischievous I would turn the left hand washer jet towards the kirb. It was really funny to watch the reactions - a push bike was a real find, slow down and get just in front then let her rip!
