So the fuel gauge on my classic turbo isn't working, anyone know something I could try and maybe make it work?

I need a new cluster as my miles are all over the show, but generally they work ok. If this doesn't fix it any idea what could be the issue? Thanks

If it's the gauge itself, new cluster is best.

If it's the sender, try removing and cleaning it up.

It could also be the wiring between sender and gauge, the connector there gets wet and corrodes.

The sender is under a panel under the rear seat, o/s. Rear seat is three bolts along the front edge, lift and remove.

Cheers dude, a cluster should be here on Monday, but ill check under the rear seats this weekend.

are the connectors easy to clean/change if they are corroded?

Easy enough to get at.

NOT easy to change, but application of wet-or-dry, emery cloth, files etc helps to clean them.

Cheers I'll have a play this afternoon, going for it's MOT that I know it will fail, just a case of how bad and what will need doing.

tried a little trick which worked! tap the top of the fuel pump rather hard and brim the car, it was a little stuck so it free'd it up, sorted

Might be worth removing and cleaning it, otherwise it will just stick again.
