Well reverse lights are supposed to be switched by the gear lever, in one way or another, or you can have an independent switch but it has to have a warning light too. But then you'd know that. 🤣🤣🤣

I once bought an old skool Mini which had two reversing lights fitted to the boot, not big ones like I mentioned afore but nevertheless. I drove it home soon after I bought it and parked up outside our place, (Dum and Mad's) to be greeted by the plod who had followed me more or less all the way from Bath to Keynsham. I had switched the reversing lights off just before I got out, having somehow remembered I'd put them on earlier, before I even saw the plod.
They said stuff like, "We've been following you for X miles with the reversing lights on!" etc etc. I claimed to have no knowledge of them as I had only just bought the car, which I could prove if I had to. They tried to get them to come on again, gear lever, ignition on, off, lights on, off. nothing worked. (TBH I didn't understand it either!) So they scratched their heads and said "OK, you've just bought it, get it sorted." then they looked all over the car and noticed stuff like, no front bumper, just the knife-dge like seam where you would attach one. They had a go at me about that and how dangerous it was but then mellowed and talked about taking a piece of garden hose, splitting it and sliding it over the seam. So I pointed to my old Mini sitting to one side of the drive and told them that I was going to be stripping a lot of stuff off it and putting it on the new one before scrapping it. They brightened up and that grinned at me and told me just to take care. Decent plod. I have a few stories along those lines but I'll save them for later!!!;)

Never seen just the core only the whole pump, you can swap the whole thing if you want to but the big nuts can be a pig some times, if you have a spanner or adjustable big enough you can try.

I have had a quick butchers on line and it seems like you can get all sorts of stuff some of which looks like a core, but I'd rather go with the info from a pro like yourself than jump into an unknown jungle. Dosh isn't the issue more like what is going to be easiest. I have some pretty huge spanners but I would rather apply finesse unless I can't and have to bring in the big guns. It looks like 4 allen key headed bolts and it all comes apart. (ignoring the electrical connection for the moment). But you'll tell me if there is more to it than that. At least I can take apart the new one before attacking the old one.
 
Bin looking online for pump replacement.
Wouldn'tcha know it. Discontinued.
Replacements come in at all sorts of prices. Try £275 on for size. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
