Since getting the Banana back i Have found teh Fuel Guage will only read half full. I Have taken the sender out and and even bypassed it and it works ok.
But as soon as i turn the Ignition on it will on read half full... Any Ideas plz

The Temp guage seems to be a bit dodgy also reading well up to about 50mph then just readuing under 50 degress when going any faster, but the fanns still come on.

Also the speedo reads ok up to 130 then drops rapidly to 120 then is ok up to the 150, all tried under controlled conditions honest.

Couldnt be bothered to send it back to Garage.

Could these all be related to a same problem or are they individule faults. was all ok before the prang

Just guessing but maybe a bad earth?

ive checked the earths and they seem okunless they have put the wires somewhere else during the rebuild.
I think the speedo sensor is just on its way out( due maybe to the prang) but the other two seem a tad confusing.

Nope, that's the speedo.

(Sorry BB, will try to be more constructive next time!)
