Hi Guys and Girls,

Please can any of you give me some pointers on this problem !

My fuel gauge is affected by my Brake lights and Indicators, it will bounce from empty to half when I indicate left and go to empty when I brake. I changed the left rear bulb holder unit as the sidelight was linked to the plate lamp for a feed and I have fitted a new fuel sender unit.

The earth connection prongs in the boot look pretty grotty, so should I be looking for a new earth point ?

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved on this side of the pond.

Thanks for the advice, I am probably looking to make a mountain out of a molehill. Will try a new earth point and see what happens.
