Gearbox Reverse Switch
The Rear brake lights and reversing lights are on the same fuse.
If you find your reversing lights are not working or constantly on, your gearbox reversing switch has broken.
Replacement
I aquired my replacement switch at the scrap yard for £3 pounds.
Its the same switch in all the rover PG1 gearboxes.

It is a good idea to test the switch with an electric test meter, the switch completes the circuit
Fitting
Fitting the reversing switch is very easy, the hardest part is removing the rear and engine undertray.
You may need to add or remove washers if the switch ends up always open or always closed when both in reverse and not in reverse.
