Does your speedo work slogstorm? Apparently speedo and fuel gauge are on same circuit. Looked on a different forum and it could be a broken wire under battery.

In a shed
Cleaned (attempted) my MAF sensor with some electronic compatible spray.

I got the whole piece off, but spray came with no tube so I spent a good few minutes spraying as much as I could either side. The sensor inside it's housing was held on with 2 very weird torx looking screws but with a piece in the middle - ****ing weird.

Anyway, fingers crossed tomorrow morning we have no low revs/cutout potentional otherwise its £100 for a new one.

Yes my speedo seems to work.. When the fuel gauge goes up and down the car's dash computer's "milage left" also goes up/down.. Weird problem.
I can see the needle moving up and down by a quarter tank, and then goes straight up to what i really have left.. Kind of anoying on long trips.
I have no EML btw!

Got towed to my local garage :(

Bloody water pump went on the way to work!

Great timing, right before Xmas :(

(Probably end up getting the cam belt done as well while I'm at it, asked them to source a pump with a metal impeller)

Drove home from the garage with a fixed car :D

Old water pump impeller had split so was no longer attached to the drive. What a rubbish design!
