have you checked the fuses for the reverse light issue

- not sure what fuse it is, but perhaps someone else can answer that, otherwise just check them all

not sure about the knocking noise. thats something that would be hard to diagnose on a forum

- do you feel the knock when whatever the noise hits makes contact?

- are you able to record the noise and post it on the forum?

Could also be the sensor at the gearbox itself....

Check your engine mounts mate

if you bridge the two wires at the sensor and then select reverse with the ignition on, if the bulb lights you know its the sensor at fault.
