There are two horns, a high and a low. One on each side behind the outer edges of the front bumper.
You may be able to reach them through the lower access panel in the wheel arch liner.
What tends to happen is that the wires corrode and break where they meet the connectors.
Each horn is bolted on to a bracket with a single nut (think it's 10mm). There's a bit of length to the loom so you may be able to pull the horn and loom through enough to check and repair.

If it does turn out to be the horns themselves then let me know as I have a good pair here.

If it turns out to be the connectors let me know too, as I have a good pair with about 6 inches of loom on each one and in-line splices already crimped on to them.

Perfect I’ll take a look over the weekend and see what’s going on, fingers crossed it’s a easy fix.
