Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8119 reverse switch plunger and what does it do?
The FRC8119 reverse switch plunger sits inside the LT77 gearbox gearchange assembly and operates the reverse lamp switch. When you select reverse, the selector movement pushes the plunger against the switch, closing the circuit and lighting the reversing lamps. It's a small service part on the Land Rover Defender 5-speed manual.
How do I know the reverse switch plunger needs replacing?
The reverse switch plunger usually needs replacing when the reversing lights stop working even though the bulbs and wiring are good. A worn or sticking plunger fails to close the reverse switch when reverse is engaged. On the LT77 gearbox it's a common cause of intermittent or dead reversing lamps.
Does this fit my Land Rover, and how do I confirm it?
This reverse switch plunger fits the Land Rover Defender with the LT77 5-speed manual gearbox, from VIN LA939975. Land Rover changed gearbox specifications during production, so check your VIN against the gearbox build to confirm the LT77 before ordering.
