Hopefully a quick question, or at least a quick answer...
Reverse light not working well, have to mess with the gearstick...I've rewired it so now looking to replace the switch.
Question is, how can I tell which one to get? Its a 1987 LR90 that has had a 200tdi conversion from a petrol engine. I'm not sure what gearbox is fitted, last owner thinks its original.
Is the switch a general one for most boxes or are they box specific? If so how can I work out which box I have?

Don't forget to have it in reverse when you screw in the new one, other than that it's a piece of ****!

Thanks bluedog for stating the bleeding obvious.....because I didn't know that, guess what the next thread would have been about :lol:

Don't ask how I know! Alright then... bought a 'cheap' replacement switch, threaded it in, tried it out, bit stiff but worked. Took her out for a drive, pulled into a passing place to let a car past, tried to reverse out...snap! Switch snapped off and fell into selector housing. Stuck in a country lane passing place, couldn't move anywhere incase of damage to the gearbox! Fun. Combination of tin foil cheap switch and screwing in too far!
