ok guys, based on a 1.4 escort the problems are..

fuel gauge just seems to be at rock bottom even though i know there is fuel in the car, anybody know what this could poss be?

headlights were working fine but both went off at the same time, sidelights,full beam and all indicators work and i tried changing fuses but the headlights are still out - anybody have any ideas what this might be? (i know the headlights are brighter than standard 1.4 escort however i assume the wiring and fuses are the same)

the car has an RS turbo engine fitted, so not sure if this makes any difference on the above.. although i wouldnt think so?

any help muchos appreciated.
