I have a factory fitted towbar on mine. There is no additional lights or beepers to indicate the trailer/caravan indicators are working.

Hmmm, I thought by law that there had to be either a visual or audible indication for the driver to show that the trailer indicators were working? My Discovery 4 had a separate green trailer light on the dashboard which illuminated when indicating and the trailer was connected. I've not yet towed with my Range Rover but I would expect the same for that as well. Just looked in the handbook and it shows there is a green trailer symbol in the warning lights. |

Not sure about the later ones, but the early >2006 cars don't have a warning light.

I expect then that the early models were supposed to have had an audible buzzer fitted when the electrics were installed |

The pre 2010 models double flash the indicators if the trailer indicator isn’t working this cover the need for an audial or visible telltale for the trailer indicators not working. |
