Had the same fault on my 07/57 plate, eventually it stopped working completely. I booked mine in last month for it looking at land rover repaired it as a good will gesture. All it needed was a fuel sender repair what is sappose to be a common fault. |

I see yours is 2010. If you read through the link Taz has attached you will see I had the same problem in Nov 2013, and there was a software update that fixed the issue that was relevant to a small VIN range for 2010 vehicles. It's worth calling your dealer with your VIN to see if the error code is relevant to your vehicle. Might be a quick fix.

My car had the same issue, it was sorted when the senders were re-wired. The issue you have to consider when driving with the fuel gauge showing zero is that the inboard ECU might shut the engine down as it thinks the car is out of fuel and it doesn't want to get air in the fuel system.

On my 57plate FR2 the gauge dropped from 1/2 tank to zero. Dealer replaced the fuel pump/sender unit at a meggar cost to myself. They told me it was one unit and to get to it the tank had to be removed. Is that true as I see there was a inspection plate in the floor?

As AD says, it's a tank out job. When my fuel gauge was playing up, my indy told me to run the tank as empty as possible as the tank is heavey when it's full of fuel. I had my fuel senders rewired, I was told the senders would be ok but that diesel corrodes the wiring joints, thus giving false readings on the fuel gauge.
