Wiggle it with a mate holding down the brake peddle. If it lights up, there's a loose connection there.

If they're all off, inspect the earth point on the body, the one where all the wires are grouped and attached by ring terminals. The earths are notoriously poor on 300 rear lights.

I concur,every road rally we did ended with no rear lights.
Sometimes not a bad thing

When I took my 440 jumping in Shields all the bulbs physically came out of the holders which was quite funny.

However,I thought you were banned from the technical section so as to give others a chance to shine with their knowledge

Knowledge is over rated.
