Fuse 22 keeps blowing, TC, check lights and reverse lights, bulbs are ok in the back n thats about as far as I get to checking.

This common, anywhere else I should be checking?

Reverse switch almost guaranteed mate, had mine go few weeks ago, should be a small plug on front edge of gearbox, simply unscrew and replace, got mine from Halfrauds for £4. Simple test, unplug connection, bridge with piece of wire, ignition on and see if it pops then. If it doesnt its your switch.

Even if I'm not reversing when it goes?
Can sit in the car with it running fine then after a few seconds of driving it pops.

errr, not sure but you can rule it out of the equation by bridging the plug and running the car for a bit. Not really sure then sorry if that doesnt work.

TC?? sounds like traction control. Have you changed bulbs recently?

Trip Computer I think he's referring to.

My money is on the reverse light switch too!

It ended up being the wires shorting against the gearbox, where the loom goes round the front fo the engine it was being rubbed away at by the IC pipework, once it'd worn thru the bare wire was rubbing, hence it going when I was moving but not sat there.
