I am so embarressed using the horn on my new LS focus I need to change it fast. It is easily removed from it's hiding place behind the front bumper but It seems to have a unique electrical connector that I'm a little concerned about . Any experiences anyone ?.

No; sorry. Thought about it, though. Asked the dealer (for whom everything is too much trouble) to see if there were any Genuine Ford accessory airhorns, or at least second horns to twin-tone it. Call me paranoid, but I didn't want to have any warranty arguments over electrical hassles. Needless to say, the answer was 'no', although they did say that a dual-tone unit was listed as a part for the UK-spec LS Focus, but that Ford Australia was 'unable' to get in the parts.
It never ceases to amaze me that so many manufacturers supply such weedy horns as original specification - even on their 'special vehicles'. |

No but I really, really want to. I keep expecting to see a Conga line of Suzuki Swifts behind me every time I use mine. Its awful.
Havent pulled it out yet but I know exactly what one I want to replace it, and its a Ford item so hopefully it wont be too much of a drama.

rider how is you radio reception you are on the gold coast arent you mine is shocking i took it in to get looked at along with a few other little things apparently they dont have the tool yet to get it out, whilst it was being looked at however i went and tryed out all the new focuses on the lot all the same really poor reception. its not like it is in bad areas because they same areas i get fine in my mates 2004 corolla and my parents vy commodore. it is just bad enough that you cant stand to listen to it !!!!. have the 3000km service tomorow so hopefully they have the tool by now (am not sure why i have to put up with it because they dont have the tool however, shouldnt they get that when the car is released so that they can do there job properly???)

dazza,
The radio reception is perfect. I can get nearly all good Brisbane stations as well. I am really impressed by the tone and quality of the sound system even though it only has 6 speakers. |
