I now set my steering wheel just off centre. It used to annoy the hell out of my OCD but I've learnt to live with it now!!!!

Have you also tried wiring the horn direct from the battery to make sure that they do in fact work??

If you start adding new buttons to the dash where will it all end…. only one place, a wiring disaster.
Do it once, do it right. Go to a professional if you can't do it.
The MOT station may even be able to sort it for you to get it through. :dontknow:
