FYI horn repaired - thx for all suggestions - problem was a poor connection at one of the horn terminals.
Checks made in following order:

(i) fuse - the fuse is shared with the brake lights which work, so fuse discounted

(ii) connection on steering wheel - prized the horn push from the centre, removed spade connector & pressed against exposed end of steering column. This produced an audible relay click, suggesting a working circuit

(iii) pulled wires (spade connectors) from all four terminals on the horn (there are two horns each with two terminals), cleaned terminals, slid spade terminals back on & horn sounds again

Took all of 15 mins but I broke one of the horn push retainers on the steering wheel

If anyone has any B2 facelift horn push retainers, or a grotty B2 facelift steering wheel which could be for sale, pls PM me
