good morning gents
could any one tell me the colours of the wires going to the reverse switch from the fuse board as i,ve just puchased a 90 that has had a 200tdi enigine conversion but they didn,t put the wiring back for the reverse switch on the gearbox and if possible i would like to retrace it and get it working again, iv,e put a photo up if that helps,

Off the top of my head I cannot tell you the colours, but you need a 12+ve from the fuse box to the switch which comes on with the ignition, then run a wire from the other contact on the switch to the light bulb and you also need to run an earth (12-ve) between the other contact on the bulb and the vehicle body.

Neither my reverse nor diff lock lights work either at the moment, but this is how I intend to cure them.

Hope this helps.

Ahh, just found this on Rave.

Reverse Lamps
When reverse gear is selected, the reverse lamp switch is closed. Current
flows across the switch (C0167-2) to the LH reverse lamp (C0472-2) and the
RH reverse lamp (C0455-2) on green/brown wires. The LH reverse (C0472-1)
and the RH reverse lamp (C0455-1) are earthed on black wires.

Apparently the 12+ve supply wire to the switch is Green/Yellow
