:} thanks. i will do it tommorrow. i should be able to get hold of a switch from my local motor factors

You're welcome, and a switch should be easily available :}

Graham, if you get stuck for genuine parts we have Quickco at Rainton Meadows Ind est. They are normally the same price as Rimmers as they are an x part supplier and if not in stock they can get the part the next day. I got mine from there a couple of years back. I'd unplug the switch and bridge the plug with a paperclip or wire with the ignition on to make sure the lights work. Changing the switch is a doddle, ,i just used a ring spanner.

It's not the switch itself but a lack of travel .

And you can repair it easely :

Thank you all for the advice. I got a switch this morning and replaced it in 10 minutes. the reverse sensors and reverse lights are now working. if in future if i need parts patrolman pete i will bear quicko in mind. thanks

Many thanks for the info and photos. Wish I had found them earlier. Just replaced mine; not sure if it was duff when I bought it with the 2nd hand gearbox of what. Anyway, took the old one out and tested it; no contact at all no matter how fully depressed the plunger was. Fitted a new one and all is happiness and (reversing) light! Thought the reversing sensor bleeper was a bit quiet but better with me sitting inside with the engine running. One more job off the list. Thanks again.

Mike good to hear from you! Hope you are well.
