Lose that std grill and stick a Mk2 Cooper on there!

Std fuel guage is not too accurate, especially if the voltage regulator on the back of the clocks is playing up.

DOH

I like the signs on the M8 saying "check your fuel" and then there is no petrol station for 25miles

Ran out of fuel in the Senator last week, on my DRIVEWAY

I drove about 40miles with the fuel gauge on the digi dash showing zero, and got home fine.

Next day i started it, it moved 2foot, and died How lucky was I to even get home!

I went in the shed to find a fuel can, and found one id not used for well over a year, and it had fuel in it 1yr+ old fuel

I put it in anyhow and it worked

Then about 20miles later the head gasket blew

Wonder if it was related?
