Rover 75 Classic SE Fuel Gauge Problem

Jul 29, 2005 1 Replies

I thought that I had half a tank of petrol, but when I got into my car this morning the fuel gauge read empty. I went to a petrol station and put 30 litres of petrol in and the gauge is still showing empty, with the warning light illuminated.



Does anyone know if their is a quick fix? Can I do it myself?



If I have to take it to a mechanic what are the likely costs and length of time for the job to be done?



This just seems to have happened overnight and I don't recall any previous signs that the fuel gauge might be sticking or faulty. Can the hot weather affect it?

The only quick fix is if it's just a fuse blown. Other than that, it's probably a faulty fuel gauge sender unit, which is inside the fuel tank. I haven't replaced one on a 75 before so I don't know the cost.
