Yes I have seen this gauge thing that you mention, but I can't find anything in the handbook saying that your fuel light will flash when you get low on fuel and like most modern cars you will have about a gallon or so of fuel to get you to a garage to fill up.
Or is this part of the fun side of things owning a Freelander?
Is this true? I thought I saw a warning on the gauge once on td4 so checked Rave. Attached is what it says. Are my eyes on the blink or what
