Wanted reversing light switch

[claude van rouge]

Does anyone have a reversing light switch for a 1108 R4/F4 (1990) that they are willing to sell. Claude the F4 van has the wiring for such a switch but no switch and, as we are moving to deepest rural France, a reversing light would be useful.

Thanks in anticipation

hi chris
anticipate no longer
being in a helpful mood today i rang my local factors who have in stock for £3.83 + vat new motaquip VRL156 switch (apparantley NLS )
can get it for you if needed

alternative part numbers are Intermotor 54300 (also obselete )
and CI (Quinton hazell ) XRLS14 still listed as available but no price ??

last week i fitted a new switch to 93 espace which is identical apart from electrical connector plug so could also be used for R4

hope info helps - paul

I will call in at my local motor factors and see what they can do - they are getting used to our odd requests now!!.

Update: I now have a switch on order - cost £7.

hi chris
just remembered might be worth getting hold of a couple of copper washers as sometimes screwing the switch fully in to box will prevent gearchanging
have had it happen b4 and sure you would figure it out

all this R4 technical stuff is like me going back to the 80s ashes to ashes style
keep having flash backs to the old days
