Gday all.

Hang in there garry at least your getting to know every part of your 101

. as for the fuel guage the amount of fuel these things use just stop at a servo once a day and all will be good.

rons on the money with the universal sender they are easy to fit and set. good luck
cheers gaz

Thanks but the sender is all OK - it is the little flat resistor that bridges the terminals on the back of the gauge. I will bridge them with a variable resistor to find out what the actual resistance is that makes the gauge works OK and get a normal resistor of the same amount from Jaycar and put it all back together.

Cheers

Not any more - just burntout but was able to repair it after pulling it apart and soldering in some bridging wire - works the same as before so I have just repainted the fuel gauge to match.

It is all going to go together as is - I will refuel with the truck on the flat and I will see if the petrol leak from the filler comes back - we know the answer to that.

Hi Gary

Are you sure it's a resistor on the back of the gauge? I thought it would be a capacitor to dampen the action.

No I am not sure - checked the fuel gauges on my two series 1s and they are exactly the same. Any way it is all back in - with the help of some white out and a black texta pen the gauge now reads correct.

Gary,

If I remember correctly, you were worried about the roadworthy man might not be able to read the engine number when you were going in for rego.

I am the same - I know where the engine number is but even with a mirror and light I cannot even see the engine number next to the dipstick and down behind the exhaust. I have tried from above and through the side access panel - any tricks??

Thanks

Garry
