yeh no lsd

i need to pull the box apart to find out why the reverse light switch isn't being triggered (my reverse lights are stuck on if i plug them in), and check out the clutch issue and replace the release bearing.
checked the reverse light switch and tried another i had but jus not working

ah well.. need the box out anyway!

Actually i can help you with this one. i had this problem where the reverse lights stayed on after a gearbox `rebuild. the problem probably is not the switch or the wiring, there is suppose to be a ball bearing behind the switch, just like your gear selectors. With it missing it will cause the reverse light to stay on. Hope this solves the problem

Dave! Engine bay looks sexy as always and the boot looks alot more classy!.

What plans have you got for your 21st? i might come down for the weekend?

And no don't sell your car youve already poured so much time and effort into it to get it to this stage was already a long journey and the cars already performing to your needs.......driving it now must put a massive grin on your face..

I recently had my gearbox reco'd and i have the same problem with the reverse lights. They stay on when plugged in. Let us know if you figure the problem out.
