Thanks for the input on the horn--even though it beeps whenever I turn the
wheel, I like to treat the noise as a new feature--announcing my intentions
to the world, i.e. "look out--here I come". Anyway, I suspect a disassemble
of the steering wheel will reveal the gremlin involved.

Next question regarding Series II peccadilloes:

Why does the hood (bonnet for you Brits) pop open at most inappropriate
times on the highway? My inspection reveals a bent latch--so maybe that will
have to be straightened?

(Post Script: I have about 16 more of these issues to run through before I
address the new interior and paint).
