That's the trouble . Live illuminated switch on the dash , straight to the lamp.
 
The diagram you have has some errors.
The key says the RH rear light unit is 24, yet in the diagram it is 23.
The feed to the reversing lights comes from pin 7.
The feed goes to pin 2 on the LH rear light cluster, lamp 'b'.
Then the feed jumps across to the RH rear light cluster to pin 5 again lamp 'b'.
Socket 16VE, is in fact a green cable Ve = Vert (French for green), not sure what the number 16 signifies?
If you look at the diagram, it shows some kind of diode in the passenger fuse box.
It looks as if this diode may well feed the reversing lights?
Are you sure this diagram is correct for your vehicle?

Here is a link to another diagram: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eh57zU9fdUg/TeGD_3ZOpFI/AAAAAAAAAY4/11crkCnR1S0/s1600/0007.jpg

The diode shown in the diagram, may in fact be some kind of relay?
In any event, what ever it is, it may be replaceable.
Looks like there may be others which may be the same in other fuse boxes?
 
It's succes!!
Found on another forum that someone posted it connects before the bulkhead into a connector then off to the bsi, I removed ecu in engine bay near bulkhead and there it was not even plugged in! I can only think previous owner as work done and it wasn't connected back up!ive only had the car 2 weeks.
Least it was a cheap fix,
big thanks to you all for the help!!
