Knackered fuel gauge
Discussion
Hello everyone
After replacing my dashboard with one of London Carriage Craft's finest, my fuel gauge has packed up.
I have tested the sender and gauge extensively this afternoon and its definately the gauge itself. I have had the sender out and waggled it but the guage just shows full. I tested the sender with a multimeter and it seems to work fine.
The gauge is the one with the yellow low fuel warning light and has a black bezel with magnolia face.
Does anyone know if they are still available from TVR, or does anyone have one lying around that they are no longer in need of?
Luckily the low fuel warning light still works....

nothing to do with me......just happened to remember the ad

So.....
.....I rang TMS as they seem to be quite hot on spare parts at the moment. They didn't have one in stock but rang TVR who suggested they try ETB the gauge manufacturer.
They couldn't help with a new one but suggested that ETB could recondition an old gauge.
Just wondered if anyone else has had experience of this service or know anywhere else that reconditions gauges.
Many thanks

Just to keep you all updated with a bit of info for the archive.
I received my reconditioned fuel gauge back from
ETB Instruments Limited
Leigh-on-Sea
Essex

They were incredibly helpful and prompt and it only cost £10 to fix my gauge including p+p!
Apparently whilst they're not the OEM, they bought all the parts from the OEM, at least for all the early gauges. Guess that cover Griffs aswell.
Good job I fitted it when I did 'cos I was about to run out.......
