Hi Ian,
Most common fault is a faulty horn switch, they have a habit of breaking inside the switch. If you remove it and join the wires together and the horn works, its the switch. The other fault, is the contacts on the indicator switch which connect the steering wheel to the car have worn down. These are 2 brass pins that contact the bottom of the steering wheel, this may be your problem.
