Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
Assuming you don't have a major fuel leak, i would suspect a bad sending unit.

If it�s the cluster I hope it isn�t a hard job to replace I�ve never done anything like that to this car.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks for the reply il be sure to look into this i did have a google search and it did not come up with anything. So this is helpful info thanks

POST 4Original post

+1 bad sending unit ,, or the cluster is wonky since IIRC there is some CAN bus dependencies in there...

If it�s the cluster I hope it isn�t a hard job to replace I�ve never done anything like that to this car. I reckon I can figure out how to do the sending unit but cluster I�d be a bit worried damaging anything. You think it�s an easy job if it�s the cluster?

POST 6Original post

If its the cluster the car will require a trip to get access to a PWIS to re-code the new cluster to the car. None of the diy's indicate getting the cluster out requires super human skills. I would still bet on the sensor because the Mileage and gage are behaving the same so it means a common point of failure,, the sensor is EASY..

That�s a good point thanks. Il give it a go but at the moment I�m living with it as some days it�s fine the next day or plays up so it�s intermittent. I am putting money aside for it as I want to do a few things at the same time like the MAF sensor and give it a service. Thanks for all all the help everyone
