Hi mate,

I think it's a sensor, screwed into the gearbox. Well is was, on my Corsa C...when I had the same issue. Good place to start

It's most likely behind the wheel arch liner. Remove the wheel, then remove/peel back the liner. If the car is jacked up...you can do both sides together

I have the same situation here. I've looked all over the net & youtube and for the life of me, cannot find any diagram of were the Reverse Light Switch is on a Altea XL 1.6 2007. Every other car, yes but not Altea, unbelievable. Just to had, I asked a local garage price of installing it, they said 40 to £50 ? If I knew were it was located, I could do it myself...
