So I was under the car today and found this wire unplugged. No idea what its for but the plug definitely belonged in that socket 100%

This is as you lay under the car by the licence plate. Its the wire plugged in at the top of the picture. By the wet hand print


What does it do as its been unplugged for a while by the looks of it.

hmm well if I now have a reverse light then it must be that. If it isn't then the reverse light will still be off.
Won't know if its the transmission oil light until I get a warning if I ever let it get low enough

reverse light switch. its the only one on a BC gearbox. low oil level the tight sods never put a drain bung in it so you could change it easily why would they tell you when its empty

Jam

Yep was the reverse light. I actually went YES! something got fixed, when matt said I had a reverse light

just spotted your missing a metal bracket that bolts to the gearbox where the starter motor bolts to
