I have got everything working except the reversing light - I have looked through all of the information I can find and can't locate the gearbox switch for the reversing light?
Anyone got any idea please? It's a 1992 Classic auto with a 3.9 V8
Thanks!
The reverse light/inhibitor switch located on the gearbox...
You can reach it from underneath and do it by 'feel', be careful not to knock too much dirt in to the g/box...

accessible from beneath vehicle.

Can an additional reverse light be added to this switch?
Or need to be added to the light wiring?

It's true. I don't have a reverse light on mine and never been an issue.
However if you have one fitted it must work, iirc

Not so- it's just not a testable item, so whether it works or exists is irrelevant to the MOT test. Same as things like front fog lights, extra high beams etc.
