there are a couple of different reverse switches about, I think the one GTI Jamie got was a pre-90 one which has 2 spades on top, the post 90 ones have a proper plug connector. 
There are large ones fitted to early cars which go in the side of the selector housing and operate an MPG guage & upshift light :cool:
