    Hello
    I now drive a Audi 80 K reg 2.0 100000
    I have checked the fuses and bulbs
    Reverse lights will not operate
    Is the a switch either on the Gearstick assembly or on the gearbox that I could change
    MOT due in 2 weeks
    Any help would be appreciated

    reverse lights not working wudnt fail mot....so no worries there. they dont check your reverse light on your mot. the reverse light swith is normally located on your gearbox....if you take the wiring connector off the switch and bridge the wires together with a paper clip the reverse light should come on....if it does then it is a reverse light switch faulty.

    did you do as suggested and bridge the connections, ie bypassing the switch to confirm the switch is faulty or not?
