81 GTi Horn Relay

Hi

Having problems with my horn, it was working (albeit intermittently) then it stopped working altogether. I used to hear what I suspect was the relay clicking - now I don't hear that so I thought I would start with a new relay. Can anyone tell me where I can get one - are these standard? Can I just go to a local garage?

Also does anyone know what position on the board the horn relay sits?

Thanks

Matt
