Hi all - recently aquired a 55 1.8D van - x reg - problem is the fuel gauge is very erratic.
I put 20 of diesel in and it went to 3/4 on the gauge but got just below the 1/4 mark and i ran dry - thought i were gettin a lot of mileage for 20 quid.
Anyway, would this be a prob with the sender unit or something else - eg a wiring connector or something as one minute the gauge is showing 3/4, the next its on 1/4 and so on.
If i need to get to the sender unit to change it, then do i have to drop the tank or is there access from the top?

Also theres a bit of a shake on the engine on idle - sort of if i rev it a bit the gear stick sort of moves slightly back and forth - sounds funny i know - is this common or another fault - shakes quite a bit when i switch engine off to.

Any ideas?

Great forum and thanks in advance all.
