there poo
why did it fail, non-operational??
does your corsa have an airbag?
common failing points, dodgy connection on horn switch, or the horn-ring behind the steering wheel is broke/loose...
horn relay has gone pants
or the horn itself is just clogged up / buggered
shouldnt be too expensive to fix, relay from scrappies for £2, check wiring & reconnect - free to do yourself, new horn itself from scrappies or local motorfactors, no more than £5

probably end up rewiring my own loom..
i tested the horn through a 12v battery and it worked..
i followed the loom to a relay, when i press the horn the relay clicks...
