So, the other day, having returned from a blast round Europe, sadly not in the Cappa, I decided I'd best give the old girl a bit of a run. All was going well till I had to use my Horn at a Dick Head.... Sadly the Horns had given up the will to live though and they sounded like a wet Fart.... Right up to the point the Fuse went..... Big Bugger!!!!
Well to cut a long story a little shorter, I threw all my Years of experience out the window and started a hunt for the Horn Relay, shown on BOTH wiring diagrams in the Haynes manual.... Humm, this hunt did Not go well, so I changed out the fuse and nipped down the Auto Factors, bought a pair of Disc dual tone horns and whacked them on, Oh Dear, nothing....
It was only at this stage I decided to check the wiring, something I should have done at the start, after all, it's only 33 Years old, behind the grill, where it gets no weathering.....
Needless to say this was all in a very sad state, so, re-wired the Fuse Box, then all behind the grill, new connectors everything, tried the horns and oh dear, they worked, but now sounded like a slightly off Wet Fart. Tried the originals, no go, burnt out. Anyway, (I'm getting to the point now.... Honest....) I nipped round to see Nick on Sunday, true to form, there he was tinkering with his Beloved..... The Cappa that is and as I pulled up, Tooted the Horns. O dear. Anyway, once Nick climbed off the floor and dried his eyes, we had our usual banter and eventually I left and came home.
So tonight, I've got home from work and waiting on my Door Step was this....
Horns by John Taylor, on FlickrWhat a Gent..... He had told me he'd ordered them for me, but it is still such a Fantastic gesture....
Nick, many thanks fella. The grub at Simply Ford is on me!!! All day long...... Cheers, all the very best Nick.....
I just wanted to share this with you all, as he is a true Gent.... All the best every one, till next time, Cheers,
John......
