I was always led to believe not it wasnt essential to have one, although if there is one fitted and doesnt work then it should be an advisory/fail, if it is factory fitted and doesnt work then it should!

nice one people, it has one, with a bulb in, but no switch in the gearbox.

might stick a switch in the dash somewhere.

martin, look at pics of mk2 escorts.. it was a common mod to fit a 'ba$tard' light on the rear bumper, usually an old cibie spot lamp, with a dash switch, it was allegedly for reversing...
