any advice appreciated on how to remove and replace the reversing switch on l200 ( year 2000 ) gearbox. I can not get a spanner on it due to position . I think I could get a socket on it if I cut wires but that would not work when fitting new one?
Thanks Dunney
Have my second k74 single cab workhorse, 2000, red work horse for getting stuff up into our fields but tidy enough to take to work. No mechanical knowledge but follow instructions well! first L200 was £1200 (1997) written off so gone upmarket with an £1800 (2000)!

Dunney, I have a socket that I cut a grove into so the wires could come out, either do the same or I can post mine to you if you cover the postage & send it back.

What size, I have a full set of pipe sockets with a side out, or injector sockets if it's bigger

Don't know if mines in the same place but I used a small bendy ratchet spanner for mine.

One step forward???
I have changed the reversing switch (cut a groove in an old sparkplug spanner) and reversing lights work but now green 4 wheel drive light not coming on in either 4 wheel hi or low. I have not touched any other wiring so I wondered if anyone knows why this might happen now?
