Has anyone else had the same problem were the you have to push to the right just a fraction while in reverse to make contact on the switch? The only other thing I can think of is that the metal contact in the gearbox that presses it is worn.

Cheers

Got the same problem on my 96 Disco R380.
I have to pull back on my lever too.

I had a look under the Disco, but where abouts is this switch hidden???
