Best plan is to tell us about the tick-over problem in 'mechanical' section, and the horn problem in electrical! Tell us when the problems started - any other relevant information...

Sorry for delay, the tick over seems fine for 5 miles or so then seems to be slow on pick up and at junctions I need to give it a little throttle while in neutral or we get chugging
And vibration

Lift the idle speed slightly - then adjust the mixture to give a nice smooth idle.
