My hooter got stuck on. Little Miss Sunshine rides again, infuriating yet hilarious til i found which wire to pull out. Can anybody shed any light on how to fix it ?

First guess is a new relay is required.

Would you like a wiring diagram and picture of the relay layout, and do you have a multimeter?

Are you familiar with earth-switched circuits?

And is it a button in the steering wheel? If so I'd start by checking the "pencil" switch.

What sort of switch do you have? Some are in the steering wheel centre some have a button on the dashboard. The steering wheel version is a bit more complicated with a 'pencil' contact and connection ring on the back of the boss.

PS - I messaged Mick when I saw your article in Low Flying - he tells me you've been buddies for years!

... with a 'pencil' contact and connection ring on the back of the boss.

And if that's the type you have, they certainly can get jammed on (as I discovered a couple of years ago at MOT time).

There is a bar you can visit, where while drinking bear and eating food, the waitresses will give you advice. Worth a try? Group visit?
