Cab lights in Mk3 and Mk4 Hornby DVTs

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the DVT cab lights in the Mk 3 Arriva DVT and the Mk4 TFW DVT. I run DCC, and have Hornby decoders fitted to both DVTs (R8249). 

On the Mk3 DVT the cab light is always on when the DVT is travelling forwards, and off when the DVT is in reverse. This seems to be unprototypical to me, as I would expect the cab light to be on when the DVT is reversing (for Train Manager use) or better still be separately switchable on/off. does anyone else have the same issue ?

Turning now to the Mk4 TFW DVT, I just cannot get the Cab
Light to come on at all. Directional lights work as expected, but no function will put Cab Light on. The cab light itself does work, as I have tested it with a 9v battery - but no functions seem to turn it on either going forward or in reverse. Again, has anyone else noticed this, and is there a fix ?

All suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.
