Hi folks,
Hopefully a quick one but fearing the worst....how easy is it to change the horn on a 1.4 stilo? Please tell me tell me you don't have to take the bumper off to do it?!

Removal of O/S/F wheel and wheel arch shoud give you the access you need.

As Yellow Peril said, however - having bumped mine in that area, remove the grill on the Offside off the bumper and you can see the horn - i could see mine until i replaced that small grill, might have to remove the undertray if yours has one - mine didnt so it was easily accessible from the front grill and laying under the bumper... - probs easier tho if you follow yellow peril's advice and go from behind to get it out.

It's inside the right side wheel arch liner, in front of the windscreen washer resevoir.

What car was this pic taken from - i have a 1.2 active, thought the 1.4 was the same, my horn is near the O/S/F grill. And... my reservoir does not have two pumps like that one... it has one with two outputs (front / rear) reverse polarity on the pump and it feeds the rear window... how come this has two - surley not a 1.2 / 1.4 body.

The picture is from one of my 1.9 JTD MWs. As you can see from the picture, the horn is behind the grille.

The larger (high pressure) pump is for the hydraulically operated headlamp washers.

Typically headlight washers. Can't say I know if Stilos had headlight washers but I think HID / Xenons were option weren't they - headlight was is legal requirement on them (in UK).

They were not standard on all Stilos, but as you say, they're a legal requirement (along with automatic headlamp adjusters) on all cars fitted with Xenon HID headlamps.

One of my Stilos has them because it has the optional Xenon HID headlamap, the other has them because it has the optional "cold weather pack", that includes headlamp washers, heated seats and heated windscreen washer jets.

Because of the high discharge from the headlamp washers, they also have a larger capacity windscreen washer resevoir.
