Easy fix? Is it a bolt in part or fuel tank off job. If easy I will do it otherwise warranty claim will be pending

Mine wouldn't go up past a half for a while, fixed under warranty. Now it's empty when on a quarter full and no warranty left so I just live with it... |

Not an easy job, the fuel tank is a Saddle Type, two gauges, one in each Saddle, prop shaft off, that's the easy bit, search is a good bet, but if you have warranty use it |

Hadn't realised it was such a common problem until searching threads on the forum

If you go to Stratstone Bury as for Donna. She's a great help. If you mention my name Mr crompton with the i6 she will know who your talking about I6 WITH GAS CONVERSION

starting the car this morning the gauge was practically touching full so may have sorted itself out?

I've only had mine since November. . When I first got my car I spent hours on this forum, if they turned around tomorrow and said it will go to yearly subscription I would be the first to pay, looks like my freel2.com sticker on my back window is fine for now I6 WITH GAS CONVERSION

Totally agree, its an addictive informative forum, after a year or so on the D3 forum and enjoying the banter and company and camping/green laning with the great individuals on there, Im sure the FL2 fold will be just as amazing!

I brimmed mine for the first time yesterday and the needle was about 4 mm above the full mark. I had issues with my fuel gauge dropping to zero. This was fixed by replacing the wiring to the senders, there is a LR technical bulletin about it that the mechanic showed me. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker. Gone MY2010 Freelander 2 Manual TD4.e S, Alaska White. |
