Have a look here... http://www.mgfcar.de/schedules/sb28.jpg seems a pretty simple wiring diagram, power from fuse 11 in the passenger compartment. seems to be share with the brake lights, so are they working???
If so, could be loom damage at the boot hinge area, or a switch problem which I would presume is near the gerbox, but thats beyond me I'm afraid!

We had this problem and after checking the fuse, the bulbs and the loom, I changed the switch and voila - reversing lights again.
The switch button wears over time and is no longer depressed sufficiently to activate.
To check whether it is the switch you will need to disconnect the wires from the switch. With the ignition on bridge the two wires - if the reversing lights come on, it's the switch.
Although you can access the switch from the N/S/R wheel arch, you need to open up the engine access hatch under the parcel shelf to disconnect/reconnect the loom.
This is the reversing light switch. Approximately under the clutch slave cylinder, on the passenger side, towards the passenger seat.
It would be an underneath job for me, but as said, you need to go in from the top as well to disconnect it.
Flopsy is all fixed. The switch has had a good clean, and my reversing lights are back! Thank you all for your help
