Does it look something like this?

If so, that is simply informing you that you have a bulb out. and IIRC, as with the number plate lights, it wont display until both lights have blown. (Or they might not be part of the CANBUS system atall, i cant remember)

Its either blown bulbs, corroded contacts in the rear light unit or a faulty reverse light switch on the gearbox. all fixed with some relative ease

Ah. Yeah if its the number plate lights... one bulb out will not trip the bulb failure light. Both have to pop before the warning appears. 4 little philips screws to remove and you'll find 2x 239 festoon bulbs in there

All the best to your daughter pal
