    Can anyone tell me if the horns on an 08 are mounted visibly, or if they are concealed in the bodywork? I've been looking at pics on Google images but can't see them.

    IIRC some of them had a rather feeble 'chime type' air operated whistle, which was mounted in front of the cab on the right.

    Whistles as built; some have had them replaced with a single horn in the same spot.

    Example here (not my photo / hope the link works): https://flic.kr/p/pRYMi9

    It took me a moment to spot it, but thanks for that!
