Iv changed the fuse, i phoned garage and he said it would cost around £250 because its common in the Astras and it something to do with the link in the steering wheel. Where is the horn located in the engine because when i press the horn i can hear the relay switch still which indicates to me theres nothing wrong with the connection.

engine check light - con?

Most of the time it is caused by the wires that connect to the horn, just take the connecters off and on a few times to clean them.

failing that, grab a piece of wire and connect directly to the horn + terminal from the battery +, but plug your ears first ! This will isolate whether the horn itself is faulty or the wiring/horn button that feeds it.
Even if it is the button at fault, £250 sounds like a stealer-dealer price. Try a local garage.

If yoy take off the Horn connecting wires put on a Feed Tester this will tell you if the horn itself is faulty.if you can get at the horn, tap it a few times, this at times works the Sht loose.

I think it's down under the passenger side front, just by the bottom of the belts and pulleys - be sure the engine is stopped when you look.
