My reverse lights have suddenly stopped working. Both the bulbs and the fuse are ok, so could it be an electrical fault?
My MOT is due in a few weeks so want to get the problem sorted before then. If anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be great!
Cheers!

Agree with Gazza.

Re: Reverse lights not working...?
The switches on the top of the gearbox are notorious for failing. They can fail permanently on or permanently off. I had to replace ours about 4 years ago and it has been fine since. Ours is a 1.6 16v and my post on how I did it can be found here:

Get your switch from your Peugeot dealer - don't be fooled by the so-called "cheap" prices on eBay. I paid £7.15 from Robins & Day in Leicester 4 years ago. Fitted perfectly.
