Thread: Petrol guage going crazy

Anyone know of a replacement or fix it? I don't want to have to replace the whole fuel pump apparatus just for the sake of the fuel gauge

That **** happens here in all three of the cars we use regularly, and the pantry and the fridge. I was thinking I must be going mad, but seems I am not alone with this problem.

Is there a fix for it, it's costing me a bloody fortune?

One positive, and I thank god... it doesn't happen to the beer fridge too often!

Old school dip stick.

Sorry, I meant go old style and use a dip stick!

What year is your RR?

GEMS cars & early Bosch cars have the sender unit available separately.

GEMS: WGI100000 - about $25 from Land Rover (run out price)
XA to 430701: WGI100020 - about $150

There is a solution but it will cost you a hell of a lot more than just re-stocking every week.

Yep,

know that feeling, but my bar fridge is the 1st place raided thanks to my teenage son.

Thankfully he's just discovered beer brewing and we're brewing up a storm - I haven't done it in years, but used to be a bit hardcore. Over the past two weeks we've made a San Miguel, Coopers Red went on last night and Newcastle Brown planned for next week (full mash) - that's 7 1/2 slabs in total at a cost of approx $6 a slab - so there is a fix!

Stuck $100 of 95ron in today and the needle is showing 4 bars, that can't be right? Anyone know where the needle should be?

My fuel warning indicator had just come on and needle sits just above the first line. Put $100 in which was 66.7 litres and needle sat slightly to the right of the 6th bar ( just over 3/4 full). I guess there is about 10 litres left in the tank when the low fuel indicator comes on. My indicator seems to read differently in the first half to the second half of the tank. What I mean by that is when the tank indicator is at half I reckon I have about 45litres left rather than 50
