Rover 214Si; Reverse lights - Peter

Both reversing lights on the car do not work. The bulbs are OK as is the fuse. Can anyone tell me if this is a common fault and any ideas? If it is the g/box reversing switch, where is the S/W located, on top of the g/box or next to the gear lever.

How often should I change the cam belt?

What is the servicing periodicity, 6K, 9K or 12K miles.

Many thanks in advance.

Peter

IIRC its on gearbox.would think that is the problem

How often should I change the cam belt?
would recommend 30k mark as some have failed before rovers spec/time.having said that I have a 414 but I think same unit?

oil/filter change 6k is a must on these
also change the anti freeze at at least 18 months if not before.head and rad suffer from blockage if not done.leading to head gasket failure
