The reversing lights have stopped working and there's now't wrong with the bulbs. I want to check the fuse but, unless I am being particularly dim, I don't seem to be able to find it listed on either the engine or passenger compartment fuse diagrams..

Your info' is correct for the Mk7.5, but close scrutiny of the Mk 8 owner's handook reveals nothing.🤒

As you say not listed for the fuse boxes

Solution to the problem found. One bulb was not being gripped tightly enough by the connector. With all the speed humps and the awful state of the roads it was being shaken ever-so-slightly loose.
