Hi, The reversing lights (backup lights) on my FB have what looks like nasty home made wiring. 2 very fat solid core (~1.5mm dia copper) black wires go from the front left of the engine bay, round to a grommet on the front right, then hang free past the gearbox to the switch on the box nose cone. The feed is from an in line fuse off the coil, which seems home made, but is correct according to Bentley. I'm sure this can't be right ? Where should the wires be fixed when they go past the gearbox? How are they normally routed ? At some point the car had a trailer hitch with associated bodged wiring for all the rear lights. This has all gone now. Maybe this wiring was done at the same time. Thanks. -- Matt. UK.
