Hello,

Yesterday I had about a quarter tank of diesel, I put in £25 and was surprised that it jumped up to 3/4 full...

After to driving to work and back, I stalled going up a hill ( only got car yesterday) now the fuel gauge says just over a quarter, it dropped straight after I stalled. Any ideas? Thanks

Is this an easy fix?

Seems that most Freelander fuel gauges are inaccurate, mine certainly is. Stays on full for about 80 miles then drops to 3/4 after a couple of miles then just seems to choose its own reading when ever it wants. I just fill it up then top up when it reaches 1/4 of a tank.

Same here full for 100 mls then drops quickly the slows down again. Seems accurate when near empty.

i tend to have ood readings from the fuel gauge after not running it for a week then filling it - it tends to stick as a full tank for around 1/2 a tank them drop over night then work normaly
