Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8517 reverse switch plunger and what does it do?

The FRC8517 reverse switch plunger sits in the LT77 gearbox gearchange and operates the reverse lamp switch. Selecting reverse moves the selector, which pushes the plunger onto the switch to close the circuit and light the reversing lamps. It's a small service part on the LT77 5-speed manual.

What are the signs the reverse switch plunger needs replacing?

The reverse switch plunger usually needs replacing when the reversing lights fail to come on with reverse selected, despite good bulbs and wiring. A worn or sticking plunger won't press the reverse switch properly. On the LT77 gearbox it's a frequent cause of intermittent or dead reversing lamps.

Which vehicles does this reverse switch plunger fit?

This reverse switch plunger fits the LT77 gearbox on the Land Rover Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic. Discovery 1 fitment runs from VIN LA081991. Land Rover used more than one gearbox across these models, so confirm yours is the LT77 5-speed manual before ordering.
