Reversing lights

[vlv8vic]

My frustrations have brought me to post this. When i reverse the backing lights dont come on. if i push the shifter the slightest bit (i mean only a mm or 2) toward park they come on. its about the inly part of a vl ive never had a play with so am stumped. is there an adjustment? i imagine that the little thing that makes the lights come on is slightly out of alignment with the reverse selection.
any help appreciated...

Yeah mate i have the same prob only due 2 the fact that my car originally had a manual box in it so the gears dont line up with the numbers but i've found that if i lift the shifter a touch they come on in, both cases there must be a bodgy connection.
