Alright chaps,
I've fitted some new clocks to my S2 (the new ones have the fuel gauge to the left and the temp' to the right - my old ones were the other way round). Everything seems to be ok apart from the fuel gauge. It reads between half and a quarter when the tank is actually nearing empty (the computer backs this up), and when i stick £20's worth of juice in there, the needle moves up to nearly full.
Any ideas about what i can check for or what i might have done wrong?
Cheers!

sounds like you have pu the needle back on wrong. best bet would be to fill it to the brim, then remove the needle and refit it at the full mark with the ignitio on so that the pointer movement is assuming the full position.

you need to swap the wires around on the back of the clocks to get them to read correctly..;
your fuel guage is actually the water temp
