any ideas how i can stop it its getting quite annoying

Sounds to me more like the switch is stuck on. The horn button usually switches the ground side of the horn, not the live side. Turning on the ignition makes the horn live so the horn button must be stuck on (or an equivalent wiring short) to complete the circuit.

That's my 2p anyway - check the switch with a multimeter if you can!

yep, just use a multimeter

ah didnt realise the horn switch was on the negative side, yeah your probably right them mate :)

it might be the relay broken

If it's in your 1.6, they're, some say, prone to disaster.... you may aswell sell it for somthing old school according to anyone who knows anything
