Couple of problems on a '97 Renault Laguna 2.0RT

formatting link
Just bought this last week and it's in lovely condition physically and the engine is as sweet as a nut... there are just a couple of little problems...

The first is the fuel gauge... it's not registering any fuel at all, could this just be stuck or is there a more common solution?

Secondly, whilst driving yesterday my stereo switched off (I fitted this upon buying the car), but also the interior lights and clock went out as well. I've tried the fuses, it isn't that... any ideas? (i'm pretty clueless when it comes to cars)

Third, the rear washer doesn't move, you can hear the motor move but the actual arm stays still... new motor or would a bit of wd40 probably help?

Thanks in advance

regards

Gavin

Figured the electrical thing out. There is an extra fuse attached between a black box and the Battery, _this_ is the fuse that is for the

3 things that went out. Replaced it and all is fine :-)

this seems to be a common fault with laguna's, i know of 3 which dont work (thank god for the fuel computer)

saw this was sorted, id not have had a clue anyhow!

if the motor is turning then it has to be either empty, or a blocked/broken line.. never had this problem on me mum's so i cannot tell you its route, but its quite common for non return valves to wear/break/stop working... so to wash a rear window could involve a long press on the button. otherwise id start looking for wet spots for a broken pipe...
