Hi - as no one else has replied - I'm not a diesel owner but I think that the tach connection is from the alternator on the diesel.
Reverse switch is on the side of the gearbox (crawl under from the left hand side and you should be able to see it).

Hope that helps (and hopefully someone who 'knows' will confirm this)!

Thank you for your reply,

You were correct and both faults are now rectified. Just gotta work out which oil pressure switch I need as my current one has one prong but two wires?! :ok
