Right for some reason the rear lights on my other half's185 aren't working recently just converted to rev 3 engine, brake lights work so do indicators and reverse lights, fuses are intact although I don't seem to be getting a reading on voltmeter on connection points, are there any common failures or does anyone have any suggestions?

If you retained the 185 engine loom then there shouldn't be any wiring issue as a result of the engine change.

Looks like there's a tail light relay and tail light fuse, not sure where they are though.

The following should help diagnose, it shows fuse & relay locations and wiring routes as well as circuit diagrams.

Had power to everything but the tail lights ended up running a live feed to the connector pin and hey presto they work, does anyone reckon it could be down to the lamp failure box behind rear passenger trim?
