Should just be the horn I'd have thought, it's basically just a speaker with negative and positive.

Basically just have to join the postive and negative together as said using spade or bullet connectors rather than the existing plugs.

IIRC the Vectra one is 2 tone and sounds better / is louder.

I would have thought MK1 - A, MK2 - B, MK3 - C, MK4 - D...

I could be wrong though.

just drive in. beep your horn a couple of times. in the old days it used to spark a chain reaction of everyone beeping their horns. then just follow the sound of one you like until you find the make of car.

can get mk4 astra horns off ebay. not that expensive it seems. although scrappy trips are more fun as never know what you may find.
