And if all else fails, give the driver a torch.

Re: Reversing lights
MOT-wise on reverse lights... they are checked but only to make sure when you switch em on they don't spazz out the rest of the lights in the cluster/whatever. you don't need them on a car to pass.

Re: Reversing lights
The thing is I would just prefer them to be working. I measured the voltage from the gearbox sensor in reverse. It's 0.404v so I'll put that in the dta ana3 settings with 100% duty cycle and see if it enables the aux3 output that I will use to drive a relay for the lights.......simples!

Never in my 20+ years of motoring has reverse ever been engaged to check either lights or anything during an MOT test. On any car or van Ive put through the test.
