Hi guys fuel gauge not working on van have been told tank sender unit is fine so it must be a gauge problem. I cant find my Haynes anywhere so don't know how to test it. also where on earth can I buy a new one as I can't afford a whole new dash pod.

Thanks David.

couple of things to check before you condemn it
the voltage stabiliser, the relay plate connections (multi pin connector B pin 3 and connector E pin 5)
and the earth connection at the tank

Thanks Kev the garage drained the tank last week and told me sender is fine as for pin connector I can only identify 2 one on the left that works the head lights and a long thin one that connects into the back of the fuel gauge pod on the right both look ok but until I find my manual dont know where to look unles there are some clear photos on here.
