Has anyone had probs with the fuel gauge in a 2005 Chrono pak Cooper (may common acrossthe range though).
My one sometimes shows empty when in fact it is full, it comes right most of the time by restarting the car.
Also it doesnt appear to exhibit the fault if the tank is under half full.
The local agent here has no Idea what the prob is, and the car is out of warranty. So it would cost a mint to get it fixed with them. Cheers

Get the sender output voltages read, you will find out quick if the sender is bad, which it might be. Another possibility is a loose or resistive connector.
