No I don't work in the Mining Industry but one could say near it , that photo was taken when i was living and working out of Mt Isa if you care to click the link near the photo called "View Members Rig & Profile" that will tell all

Thanks for the info, I think I will just go for a lights-on warning buzzer.

Hi again Dermie, My RR is a diesel and the D3 is a V6 petrol.

I like the extra grunt the petrol D3 has over the TDV6 D3 but the RR still has more grunt than either D3 and gets 9.1/100 on trips. The best the D3 gets is around 12/100 on a trip so if you have the extra $8k and you are planning to do a lot of driving, go for the diesel.

If the fuel prices had started to rise when I was buying the D3, I would have probably gone that way.

I don’t know how soon you want the D3 but I believe there is a twin turbo TDV6 D3 coming soon. Others may have more details there.

Don’t confuse the 2000 RR with the new Land Rovers as far as electronics go.

There were and are lots of problems with the pre Mk3 RR but the Mk3 had the fortunate advantage of getting BMW electronics instead of the Lucas crap.

the D3 goes even further in that it also has had some Ford input to push the BMW style electronics to even better performance.

I’ve had quite a few warranty problems with the RR but not one has been a direct cause of the electronics and in a number of cases, the electronics has warned of potential problems before they occurred and in my opinion, thats what modern automotive electronics should be capable of doing.

The D3 comes with a 3 year/100k warranty and for around $1,500 you can, at any time while the original warranty is valid, extend the warranty period for another 3 years/100k.

Hi Chris, Sorry about the above post, that was for another thread.

Anyway, I was going to suggest that you use a buzzer but as your lights are negative switched, it’s a bit tricky to wire up.

It’s been some time since I owned a Toyota but if the parking light circuit is positive switched ( I don’t think it is ) this would be the place to put the buzzer.

Cheers and have fun fitting it.
