Thanks team.. I finally got to the end of my problem. The car had a clutch which shattered the bellhousing which damaged the reverse light switch on the gearbox. Also, the last owner had pulled apart the rear reversing light bulb holder etc and did not put it back together properly, while trying to find the issue. Once I replaced the reversing light switch the light still did not go. So I went to the rear of the car and started there, as per Steve's recommendation. Found the bulb holder to be broken and swapped it over with the fog light holder and it all went!! Wahoo!!! Many Thanks Steve for the tip!!
