  1. Well it looks like the gauge is gone what to do now
     
  2. Hey hibiscrub, when you say you fiddled with the adjuster, what do you mean? Does it rotate?
     
  3. yes mine turns clockwise/anticlockwise
     
  4. Cheers Hibiscrub -I'll give it a go tomorrow as it's van time rather than work time :)
     
  5. My gauge goes up a quarter when I put the lights on and never stays still.
    Like an amp meter.ha ha.

    A lot of my electrics work a lot better after I put a new ignition switch in, after it went dead snd wouldn’t even turn over. My fuel gauge was all over the place like you are saying, and my rear no. Plate light never worked. A new switched fixed it all.

    My fuel gauge regulator had burned contacts and the aveeage voltage dropped off as well as the sender wearing out.
    Made it all a bit random .

    I peeled the regulator apart, cleaned the contacts then reassembled and adjusted it.
