Frequently asked questions

What is the CDU51 reverse light switch?
The CDU51 reverse light switch is the gearbox-mounted switch that turns on the reversing lights when you select reverse on the R380 manual gearbox. It threads into the R380 extension case and completes the reverse lamp circuit.
Which vehicles use this R380 reverse switch?
This reverse light switch fits Land Rovers with the R380 5-speed manual gearbox, including the Defender, Discovery 1, Freelander 1, and Range Rover Classic. It's the R380 extension case switch, so confirm your gearbox is the R380 and not the earlier LT77.
What are the signs this switch needs replacing?
A failed reverse light switch shows up as reversing lights that stay off in reverse, or occasionally stay on. The switch contacts wear or the seal leaks gearbox oil, so no reverse lights is the usual sign it needs replacing on the R380.
Where is the reverse switch located?
The reverse light switch sits on the R380 gearbox extension case, screwed into the housing near the gear linkage. Access is from underneath, and a little gearbox oil weeping around the switch often points to a worn or leaking unit.
