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 .

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.
