Reverse light isn't part of the MOT.

Its a pretty basic circuit though, is the bulb getting a current?

[mk1nova_rich]

should be an easy fix anyway - check the connections on the gearbox, then check the bulb. Likely to be one of those two

:) .deep breath...............rite first thing first went down the basic route ie,fuse box bulb,didnt have a curent tester.......thats one ov my problems?:tard: obv!!,so i went ahead and tried to use oposite side bulb cradle,still no go, went straight to the sensor located on the front of the gearbox,tried then to bridge between the conections.....yes i had a fuse lol, still no go by now as u can geuss i was pretty stumpet,so i chased the wiring all the way from the back.found no breaks any were.........stumpet? got a sensor cuming tomorow dought it will help....luv it ps use a wire from other bulbs ie brakes the bulb lights lol:cry: lol

Reverse light switch on gearbox faulty - replace or renew.
Check rear lighting loom earthing point - job done.

1,unplug the wiring connector on the reverse switch on the front of gear box,
2,use a split pin or a small piece of wire, and connect the two wire's/terminals together inside the plug
3, turn the ignition on (you don't need to put car in to reverse gear)


if the light come's on you have a faulty reverse light switch (common fault)
if the light doesn't come on when the ignition is on and the two wire's/terminals are connected then the reverse light switch is most likely
to be fine and the problem is further on!

good place to start

good luck fella :thumb:

Nope they don't check the reverse light, my cars went through 3 MOT's without them :)

Best of luck, let us know how you get on :)
