The fuel guage on my 2001 1.9D forte has been faulty since I've had it (nearly 2 years now). It sits just over 1/4 of a tank higher than the fuel actually is, and every now and then will move again - maybe just a mm or two - but no warning and I'm unaware until I run out, thinking I have more fuel than I actually do!
The fuel sender unit was replaced with a brand new one last year but this made no difference at all. Can this be repaired or is it a new cluster job? And if it is, where can I find one? I have yet to find a breaker's yard or anyone on ebay selling parts that fit my model (I seem to have picked an uncommon one!).
As for the tailgate - when I bought the car, it didn't open at all; I took the trim off to look and the metal bar connecting the lock to the opening arm was absent. Replaced it so I could open the tailgate, however since then it's opened twice by itself without warning (I now have it bungeed from the inside just in case, as this is a dog car). I can also open it when the car is locked - it will open and a couple of seconds later, the central locking unlocks. The rear wiper also does not work - I can hear it buzzing but it doesn't move (screenwash works though) and sometimes, when I put the car into reverse there is a loud buzzing noise (the lights work fine). Could this all be related?
