Fuel Gauge/Sender
rokcrawlin:
its an earth problem or dodgy contact clean up the connectors the light for low fuel is usually set for 1/4 of a tank
MTyrrell:
Had a similar problem with my 110, their's a multi plug about 40cm down the sender loom from the tank, probably different on newer landy's though, one of the connectors had corroded and was only making a intermittent connection.
See your's is living up to land rover's reputation for reliability already.
Xtremeteam:
IIRC theres only the one multi plug on the fuel tank pump & its a tank out job unless you fancy cuttinga hole in the floor :wink:
its prob advisable to get a guge put on the fuel rail at the front to check the pressure as the pump/sender unit could be onits way out & IIRC its about 180 +v for a replacement
I soooo hope its something more simple for you BTM But when you find the fault tell me
Bush Tucker Man:
Going to go out soon &
1. Check the gauge, with a small supply (9v battery??) & see if it moves.
Wonder how much an ivory faced gauge is?
2.Check for a voltage at the instrument end of the loom.
3. Visit the local independant about a mile away & leave it with him (or book it in)

The gauge operates with a 9v supply across it, but what's the 3rd pin for? (fuel light??)

There appears to be, on 2 of the 3 pins. Silly me didn't check if they were the same pins as the gauge :oops:

Visited & it's going next Monday morning, unless I get it sorted.
There's not an ECU related issue here is there???
I don't know to what extent the ECU interferes....... sorry, controls electrical function................ within the vehicle.
