Thanks for that, i should also mentioned i've only had the van for 2 weeks & haven't got a clue about mechanical stuff. Where would the reversing light switch be?

Left hand side (looking from the back) on the side of the gearbox. You should see a cable going to a two-pin connection on it.

Easy fix. Remove switch, fit a thicker washer on it, replace switch.
