Things are still a bit steady so please bear with me. Thanks, Martin.

D366Y so you would go out and buy the same part for more money ? :wave: I would if it meant keeping suppliers Like Martin in business, what happens if the cheaper fuel tank does not fit or you have a problem fitting it ?

I've seen some of th...

Maybe it's just TV bullshit but Rawlins comes across as a total to55er! Fantomworks is far better in my opinion.

Sorry mate I haven't.

Same as a 2.8i Special or a Brooklands Dave.

Ok thanks.. I have just dismantled the dash, soldered on a Capri club replacement voltage regulator and same. Took spade connectors off and on sender, seemed ok, but sometimes no reading at all. Put back in seems ok but just reads full but off the scale. It’s always done that. I don’t think much of...
