pull the plug off the gear box and it will be a 2 pin job. put a paper clip across it and put ignition on and if you reverse lights are on its a faulty switch. but dont start pulling plugs off everywhere and putting a paperclip in if your not sure which one it is though!

as mentioned already, switch in gearbox... best advice I can give you... get a haynes manual, has helped me so much over the years...
