  6. Fuel Gauge

    Hope some one can help. My Fuel & temp gauges have stopped working for some reason. I put the car on diagnostics yesterday and it came up wit 2 codes. 00771 for the fuel and 01039 for the temp and it read that there was an earth problem. Could it be a fault in the clocks or a wiring fault?

    REVIEW: (KMD High pressure fuel pump internals) + (Revo Stage 2+) = Grinning idiot

    After fannying about for ages I finally made the round trip to Chesterfield where Nino at JBS Auto's had sourced me some KMD fuel pump internals.
