omodos is on a distinguished road
Horn made muted noise after having it blazing for 2 - minutes

Is this normal???, custom out here has it that when you take a bride or groom to the church to get married
that you must beep the horn like crazy from the respective persons house to the church, anyway
the bride was an x5 admirer and I had the honour of driving her to chruch being followed by droves of relatives
. We all went mad with beeping our horns, but on my x5 after a few minutes of continuous beeping it went
weird and made a dull droning beep, very feeble, is this normal?is it a battery drain issue?
After the 1 hour church service it was back to life but found it very odd.....

Any tips would be much appreciated

Hhehehe, yup, have you had the pleasure of doing the horn thing yet??
Just struck me that you would have one hell of a job explaining who you were
if you moved to the state of Georgia! you are an American of Georgian ancestry
from Georgia u.s.a ???

Actually i live in country georgia, and i also live and study in US. I actually went to school in state of georgia, is not that ironic? From Georgia to Georgia
I have had a privilage doing the Horn thing at weddings many times, it is a ton of fun, but also dangerous, because during the wedding drive, people drive like maniacs, anyway i'am sure rest of the people on the forum think we are mental, but oh well.

Hi there I am going to the 'noose' as they say out here very soon, best man flying in from london and will drive to the church with my X (x5 that is), not that anyone else has tried this before but can you please tell me if having the horn blazing for over a few minutes can be the reason it end in a dreary dull sound?
