A couple of questions ?
Hi Guys ...
Recently bought an X-type , 2008 2.2d auto Soveriegn , and I love the car , its class ..
However the horn sounds aweful so I have ordered a new set , has anyone changed theres as it looks a nightmare to get to them which I belive are under the battery box ?
Also has anyone added a tuning box to there x-types ?
In the past I have fitted these to other diesels and had good results , not bothered about performance but better MPG is something I would like to improve ..
Cheers
Ray

Hi Ray
I agree with you that the Horn is not very good and have been thinking about fitting another one, my previous x type had twin horns and they were fitted behind the Battery at the same Height and the Cable coming up from the original horn.I should have taken them off when i sold the car,i would have a look at taken off the front undertray to see if you can fit the Horn or Horns from there.What type of Horn have you Bought as i might go down the same route.
I can't help you with a Tuning Box as i haven't used any.
Regards Tom.

Tuning boxes tend to get one of 2 replies:
Dont get a remap or
yes but buy a good one like DTUK or similar?
I have used a few tuning boxes on different diesels with reasonable results some cost me £60-70 others were £250 plus (I bought 2nd hand as I am a cheapskate).
If i were to do another after my xj6 petrol would probaly use a reputable remapper with rolling road who can actually tune the map and more imporatntly show the result, as this is a Ford 2.2 try their forums to see who is using what and who is deemed best?
