Sorry, my mistake. Just click on 'Airhorns' on the left and they're on the second page

Is there a site to download it as a mobile phone ring tone? (just thought I'd like to try it
for a while).

Isn`t it illegal to have a multi-toned car horn fitted? Perhaps it would be more acceptable if it were wired up to a separate switch rather than the cars horn control?

Sadly, multi-tone horned were deemed illegal since about 1971 in the UK, so if you fancy one you'd have to fit it in tandem with a cross-over switch, or just have a little extra button somewhere. I'm going to have a peek under the bonnet of my Smart to see if there's room for one!

To pass an MOT the horn must sound all tones at the same time from the same power source.
You can not connect Air horns to the horn push and retain the electric buzzer horns.
It is an MOT failure, and read a rant about a car failing it's MOT because someone left their electric horns connected in case the compressor failed.

The main issue is probably the delay between button press and the air pressure being enough to power the trumpets. Resulting in the electric tones being heard before the air tones, thus a horn that changes tone during it's operation.

Connect it up to another button and it is no longer the horn but some other accessory which is not covered by an MOT or Construction and Use requirements.

The number of different sound patterns I hear makes me wonder if it's just 2 or 3 trumpets on 2 or 3 different compressors and 2/3 buttons. But if that was the case you woudl hear the gap between the 2 as the compressors spun up.

The one I like is a 2 tone with very similar notes that could easily be done on a 3-way toggle switch.

I recorded an Etaphotel car doing it on Tower Bridge.

What I really want though is an Austin 7, so I can fit a Klaxon

I don't want to give you ideas...but would you ever get done for that? at MOT time possibly I admit......

one of my more chavy mates had a mini with a very similar horn in it though....
