Disco Dave: Easy! Get yourself a buzzer from Maplin.
You can even get one that plays music! Attach the +ve wire to the dash lights. Easiest place to do this is being the cigar lighter where the light is on that or the light behind the heater controls.
Connect the -ve to the door switch on the drivers door. If you take the door switch out there is a terminal on the back. You need to connect to this.
Then the buzzer will sound when the lights are on and door is open. However this will not sound if you leave the parking lights on.
Mk II: If you use the +ve from the lights to +ve to the buzzer and you use the +ve from the ignition to -ve to the buzzer then
when you leave lights on and turn off ign the +ve of the ignition turns to -ve and the buzzer sounds switch lights off and all is quiet.
The problem with wiring to the door switch is that if you pull over and dive in the back for a kip or exit through the side door then the buzzzer doesn't sound!
