Can anyone help.
I have just developed a fault on my Tamora with my petrol readout.
When I first start the car up the gauge shows zero after a minute or so it will then read 350lts and then after another minute or so it goes back to normal
This only happens when the fuel is below half way.

Thanks

I had this for a while. I took a guess at the fuel gauge sender being worn/faulty as they're not that expensive, and pretty easy to replace on the tamora, and low and behold it worked perfetly after I popped the new sender in.

Hi
I rang Racing green, very helpful sent me one out in the post. You should also purchase a seal at the same time and change that while you are at it.

Hi
Its not easy but can be done.You will need long arms and dexstous fingers.
The sender unit is located on the left hand side. Put your hand right inside and you will feel a baffal plate will need to feel your way around there, it is clipped onto that

Good luck
