Not really a problem this (I hope) just wondering what's going on with the beast...

When I press the horn, the temp/coolant level light on the dash flashes - what could be causing this?

The horn recently stopped working and then started working again, without me doing anything (the only thing I can think off was a particularly rutted car park I drove over might have jolted a connection), might this have anything to do with it?

I think that the near short circuit and high load of the horn can effect the resistance based senders and wiring in the dash pod. I had the same thing happen when the battery + terminal was shorting intermittently on the battery box lid. Nothing to worry about.

common syptom of a poor earth, most likely at battery earth strap or engine bay near electronics junction box, esp shows up on derv engined vans

Cheers for that. Though it might have been something to do with the earth because the water pump buzzes for a few seconds when I switch the stereo on so there's clearly something not quite right!
