Gearbox reverse switch.

Check its clean.

It's on top of the gearbox.

The car has to be put into reverse for the lights to come on. Sorted

the mechanical part of the switch is inside the gearbox if you disconnect the lead and use a 19mm spanner (i think) to remove the switch, check the condition, my reverse light wasnt working when i bought the car and found this to be the problem
