me again lol also when the fuel gauge gets to just below half mark it then suddenly drops to empty !! is it the gauge or the sender in the tank at fault???? yhx again kev8

I thought that I was the only one who had experienced a car with that eccentricity. In my case, the gauge worked quite well to the three quarter full mark, then dropped to zero. The car was owned by my son, who overcame the problem by simply using his odometer to work out when to top up the tank.

That car had another interesting eccentricity. Every so often the speedo needle would cease to function. We found that operation would be restored by switching on the heater blower and switching it off again.

lol thx dane ,so mine is just the reverse, ive bought a new gauge of ebay good price so will try that ,and yeah my speedo keeps making a ticking noise !!!! and the needle flutters ! something new everyday geez kex8

I've got a similar problem, except that it drops to zero somewhere under a 1/4 of a tank remaining. Considering the crusted up state the sender was in when I first got the car, I imagine it is the cause.

I think Rimmers only stock used senders

Imaginative

I find the sharp, stabbing pains in wallet are a reliable indication that fuel is getting low.

Whats that? With current fuel prices ive been considering swapping my 200 to SD1..

is a little extreme ramon !ill check the sender unit first, but if all else falls then ill give anything a go kev8
