RAA thought faulty injector pump which made dollar signs flash before my eyes! Took local Landu mechanic an hour or so to work it out before putting in 10lt & off it went again!

Do u think it needs a new sender, gauge or both?

Congrats to the gent who said no fuel!

It is possible that the Sender unit has become detached from it's location. However if it has failed you will either have to get a new pump which comes complete with the sender unit or source a replacement sender which I don't think you can buy separately new, but I may be wrong. If you can get one it is a fairly easy job to replace.

Yes both times I put sealant in the corner of the D bit. Although, mine seemed to leak else where, back corner drivers side. Not wishing to speak too soon, but I'm hopeful that it had a lot to do with the rubber grommets. My original ones were very hard and a lot thinner than the new ones, which were quite pliable. Plus the new ones seemed to hold the gasket on very well once I turned it upside down.

Welcome to the club !

Mine is the same ... Sits above full for 200km, full is 3/4, 3/4 is 1/2, 1/2 is 1/4, and below 1/4 is reserve (where the fuel warning light is supposed to come on - mine has only ever come on when the key is turned on and the dash lights do the light up and go off one by one ... ).

Lat trip I ran the gauge down to 1/2 way between 1/4 and E and when I filled I put in 94.33L ... cutting it fine.

Don't know what it is about some auto door opening sensors but the same thing happened twice with my old D2A

Was on the way out to dinner Friday night when the fuel light came on

Having lots of time up my sleeve, I stopped off at the servo on the corner of Lygon and Elgin st Carlton and parked right outside the door

Couldn't see any diesel pumps so popped in to ask the chap at the desk. Nope , no diesel

Having a wallet and phone in the car , I recall trying to remote close but not seeing the 3 lights flash

Came back out , hit the remote to open. Nothing.

Opened the door , alarm goes off!!

Rolled it away from the door and still no success so had to do the key combination reset

It worked

I have parked right outside numerous auto opening door sensors and had no problem for the last 18 months

Is there a way of shielding the immobilizer or do I just make a mental note not to park near any auto opening doors

Strewth. Still, they're easy to bleed....

Seems excessive; mine leaks the right way up.

If the car is upside down, the sump won't leak!
