Europa gearbox query

[kdownes]

My Europa TC has a 352 gearbox and I'm looking for a reverse light switch (original's busted). The original Renault part isn't to be found anywhere.

A magazine I read said that the switch was interchangeable with one from an NG3 box (maybe even with one from a box off a 4L/TL, 5, 18 or 20)?

Does anyone know if that's the case and can confirm the interchangeable part?

Even better if you know where I might be able to get hold of a switch, or if you have something yourself!

TIA

I've got a 352 and a NG3 in the garage, I'll take a look at them. 'fraid I'm not looking to part with any bits though.

That's great, thanks. Waits with baited breath.

My gearbox is fine - or at least as good as can be expected - but I guess I'd better start saving up for a "spare" box anyway.

A post to another (Renault) forum has come back saying that the switch fits & works fine in a Ren 4 box, so that's another route for me to try - and there seems to be stacks of R4 spares about.

Try sending either of these guy an email.
They'll probably have the correct switch.

Sorry that took so long.

The reverse light is definitely interchangeable between the 352 and NG3 gearbox.
