If I remember correctly on the wifes TGA superlight I removed a
link which stopped the horn when reversing but allows the horn to
work when the button is pushed. check with a maintenance/repair
company who will be able to tell you if yours can be disabled.

The only thing I wonder about that is whether there is a
requirement to have this operative if it being driven on the road.
IIRC, one has to have an orange flashing light on a pole for that?

My father's one, which is more like a golf buggy is a pavement type
and has a button operated horn but not a reversing beeper.

Quite the reverse sorry, it's only HGVs that are allowed/required
to have reversing beepers for road use. Perhaps it's the pavement
use that makes it necessary or a selling point by the manufacturer.

My car has a reversing beeper and was made that way and so does the
replacement car I have coming next week. It is a big car but hardly
an HGV;-)

What is it pete, I'm sure I've heard of someone being done for having
one on an ordinary car, as being against construction & use regs.

I misunderstood the subject. My car beeps inside the car to let me
know if some cripple is behind me out of view in a wheel chair when I
am reversing. I usually ignore it anyhow in case it is MIL;-)

My Nissan Primera has a COLOUR REVERSING CAMERA !!! So there!
