Frequently asked questions

What does the reverse light switch do on an MT82 gearbox?
The reverse light switch screws into the MT82 six-speed manual gearbox and detects when reverse gear is selected. It closes the reversing-lamp circuit so the rear reverse lights come on when you engage reverse. It's operated directly by the gearbox's internal selector.
Which Land Rover does this MT82 reverse light switch fit?
This reverse light switch fits the Defender 2.2 and 2.4 TDCi Puma up to 2016 with the MT82 six-speed manual gearbox, from VIN 7A000001. It's specific to the MT82 box, so it typically won't suit the earlier R380 manual gearbox.
Where is the reverse light switch located on the MT82 gearbox?
The reverse light switch is located on the MT82 gearbox casing, threaded into a port by the selector mechanism. On the Defender Puma it's typically reached from underneath at the gearbox. It works mechanically off reverse selection and needs no calibration.
Can the reverse light switch be fitted at home?
Yes, the reverse light switch is typically a straightforward DIY job. It threads into the MT82 gearbox casing and connects to the wiring plug, so it usually needs only basic hand tools and access from underneath. Check the reverse lights work once it's refitted.
