Not quite Woking, but The Walton Garage in Byfleet is very good. Any they do Saturdays if that helps.

Could always get it done at conti's (woking yamaha dealer) or Alec Jay's (sheerwater) or better still go to my local one in Mychett (cobbs engineering while you wait service) and you get to ride via one of the best set of twisties in the area (pirbright bends)

Thanks,

Cheers, just booked it in with them, they said they would be able to have a look, just hoping they manage to sort it for me.
Thanks,

Yeah cobbs will MOT bikes but only do work on cars which is a pain in the bum really.
Seeing what the wiring of the light switch gear was like (mine came unsoldered) if your horns not working it's probably just become un-wired. Easy DIY fix if you have a soldering iron that is. Obviously check for voltage at the horn first just incase it's the horn itself that is kaputt.

This sagas been covered in my oter threads, however the switch seems fine, and the horn works so it appears to be something to do with the wiring. Its just finding time to sort it.

Well, took it in and it failed on the horn as expected. They didn't seem to keen on trying to repair it for me though soI'll have to try and get that sorted another way.
