Very pleased with myself today. Whilst I wait for new cutout to arrive I went hunting the next gremlin on the list, the fuel guage was showing half full when totally full up.
I checked the guage, full if I earthed it. Checked the resistance of the sender, fine. Checked the earthing of the tank, fine. Wire to sender had loads of contact resistance so I spliced in a new fitting and re-fitted. (Now I understand why people cut access holes for the sender).
Still no joy.
Checked earthing at guage, that worked fine. Checked each of the wires to the back of the guage and they were fine.
In exhasperation I cleaned the contacts at guage and Bingo!
Phew!
I also, by proxy, sent a load of gearboxes the way of 7Ca, so if you need one...
