Hi guys. I have an aluminium button, about 3/4" diameter, to the right of the J shift lever. It has a horn motif above it. Any ideas what it's for ?

Hi Joe,

I'll do that tomorrow. 👍

I haven't plucked up the courage to press it yet.

It could be the Mission Impossible self destruct button for all I know!! 😁

Shuggie.

How stupid do I feel  ?

Turned out to be the horn button !!

Steering wheel horn doesn't work !!

Something else to get sorted.

Hi John,

I have just had a look at mine which is an 07 plate, just to check if there was something I had not noticed.

I cam to the conclusion that someone had fitted the button for whatever reason.

It happens sometimes that you will find a switch or button on a car that someone else had put on.  Years ago a friend of mine bought an Austin Westminster [3.0 litre] which was then the flagship car of Austin,  He used to go too Manchester City centre then and wondered why a policeman would always salute and find him a parking space.

He found out a few days later when he flicked a fairly concealed switch and the Blues and Twos came on.  He had bought a car that had belonged to the Chief Constable of Manchester Police who had forgotten to take of the switches and lights behind the Radiator Grill.

Haven't seen any flashing lights on mine ! YET !! 😄
