Post by: Benny T on 07 September 2008, 11:03
My petrol gauge won't seem to go any lower than the quarter tank line  :angry:. Still goes up tho.....
Can it be fixed??

Might be the sender that's at fault - not done it myself but believe you can replace it by going in through an access hole in the boot floor  :smiley:
