Default fiesta mk4 zetec reverse sensor location?

Hi all,long time no post!

Can anyone tell me where the reverse sensor/switch is on a 1.25 zetec motor pls(photo's would be helpful too for anyone else for future reference)?
My reverse light has packed up and I'm sure its the sensor,its not the bulb as my rear lights work ok and it has been an intermittant problem as when the reverse is engaged,the light goes on but let go off the gearstick,it goes out.

thanks in advance.
Andy

Certainly does sound just like it needs adjusting.
I can't help with where it is, other than to say have a look around the gearbox, you will see a 2 wire connector on it, the only electrical connector going into the gearbox, so can't be mistaken, adjusting usually screw in or out a bit further.

thanks ladies and gents but i think the location of this 2 wire switch has been sorted...my gearbox doesnt use that 2 wire switch,the garage(my mate owns it) said it uses the sensor unit that came on the updated gearboxes that did away with the 2 wire switch.
