Not an expert, but I would think its situated on the gearbox somewhere. Should be identifable by a couple of wires coming from it, that short when your gearstick is in reverse.

The old Escort Mk2 one was in the gearbox directly below the gear lever, but that was mounted in-line.

Sell the car and buy a decent one?

What about dodgy earthing? Have you tried putting it into reverse and then pressing the brakes / indicators / fogs? There are cars where you hit the indicators and the brake lights flash, etc. Some **** up with the wiring, but I don't know what exactly.
