fuel gauge
not good not knowing how much fuel is in the car!

It might be that if you connect the two wires that go on the sender (through round plate under rear seat) the gauge will read full - can anyone verify that? This will confirm wiring and gauge is OK or not.

Would be worth cleaning up the rosette anyway and see if that sorts it.
Sometimes it's worth running a separate earth to the instrument cluster particlarly if the dash is out (Come on Wellsy give is a definitive how the MFA works - you know you want to )
