Sorry for late reply. I did this repair myself over a year ago. I can't remember exactly what I took out of the tank but the offending connector was a black snap together thing. Cut that off and soldered the wires together, mine were copper. I don't have any photos but I have a post with the info. I do know that Divewally has a post with photos, that's what I followed. If you have made the repair your issue could be the senders themselves. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side ! Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore. Freelander now gone. |

Thanks. Can you recall was it one connector or two or even three as landrover suggest in the technical bulletin? I will look up Divewally as well thanks. |

Gasman I’ve tried looking for Divewally but can’t find him? Can you post a link to him or has he left the forum and deleted his posts? Thanks |

Used driverwally's excellent photos and instructions to fix our fuel tank last October. I too soldered the wires. No problems at all since. Fantastic info! |

After a couple of hard resets, mine has no longer been doing this. Coming up almost a year now and no repeats. |

Fuel gauge was dropping to zero when he got just below half a tank. I disconnected battery for 10mins and I'm hoping that this has fixed it. I have just run fuel down until low warning light came on as normal. All good so far.
