Also I would to like to thank you for all your advice!

Further update I have now replaced the two sender wires from the sender unit to the connector at rear of dash. I now have the fuel gauge finally working although it may not be the conventional way of doing things but it is fixed :)

There’s plenty to do I believe will try as discussed and see what happens probably won’t be until the weekend before I get the chance to carry out repairs

I also am not sure about any of the wiring on this vehicle it appears whoever owned it before me has just cut and spliced wire in all over the place and cut connectors out all over the place

I did check the original wires to Earth but didn’t receive anything to suggest that there was a short. However I naturally assumed that with an open circuit somewhere on the wiring that one end would be touching metal work some where.

Thank you for your quick reply and advice nice to know that I’m on the right track will give this a go and post the results accordingly

Had a tinker again last night and I’ve checked that the float resistance increases and decreases as it should and I have output at the top of the pump and through the electrical connection. So either the gauge is knackered or there is an open circuit on the wiring between pump connection and...

Would you have any idea where the second one is I know there’s one attached to the fuel pump but didn’t realise there were two

Hi I have recently purchased 2003 Discovery 2 TD5. The fuel gauge has been a bit temperamental and have read up on usual tricks to get things working with no improvement. So I have bitten the bullet and bought new pump and sender since installing new pump the gauge starts to creep up to full...
