Default Fuse box diagram

Hi,
WOW this car must be Rovers best kept secret - my diesel 75 is by far and away the best (modern) car I've owned....

I've searched old threads but can not get a diag that I need...Does anyone have a fuse layout diag for the fuse box fitted with mini fuses, Haynes and owners manual show the 'other type'

The only problem with my car is the reversing lights don't work (probably the switch - but thought I'd check the fuse first) Something so simple is near impossible without a map, I'm very reluctant to start pulling fuses one by one to sort which one protects what circuit.
Any pointers of where to look would be appreciated.

THANKS
JARL

Are we talking the fusebox under the glovebox? If so, theres a guide as to which fuse does what on the panel below it (which you have to remove to get to the fusebox).

Hi,
I have the owners manual and a Haynes manual - but both show the wrong type of fuse box (mine has mini fuses on three seperate 'backing boards' not one big board)
Thanks

Stick your head in the passenger footwell and look up - you'll see a large flat panel above your head. You need to remove this to get to the fusebox.

On the panel there is (or should be - is on mine!) a sticker explaining which fuse does what.

John,

The circuit diagram shows fuse 23 (5 amps) in the passenger compartment fusebox, energised only when the ignition is on. On automatic transmission cars there's a relay involved too.

Hi - Thanks to you all - the problem was the switch (which is possible to remove (just) with a ring spanner once the wheel is removed).
Yes the circuit is on number 23 fuse rated 5 Amps, 5 from the top and 3 in from the door (on the other set-up it is fuse 41 and is rated at 10 Amps)...
Anyway the switch has been cleaned and now working but I've ordered a new one to fit in the future.
What can I say a GREAT CAR & A GREAT FORUM - truley a car driven by gentlemen (gentlefolk!) of the road.
Thanks
JARL

ARTIC - If you can scan and post the document for me & others - I am sure there will be other times when I need to check fuses and your information will be invaluable.
Thanks
JARL
