Hi, in need of help I have defender 300tdi and my fuel guage is reading full whenever the ignition is on I have replced fuel sender and have checked the two wires and there connected with no problems. How can I test the guage itself? Or any other ideas what's up with it.

Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi im bobs cousin.
Have you got constant 12v exactly at fuel gauge.
Does the needle drop to the bottom when you remove the sender wire.
If not its your fuel gauge thats shorted out.
easy replaced.
good luck

fuel guage drops when i remove wire i'll check tomorrow about voltage and will let you know

cheers phil

tested wires again today only getting 4v on green/black wire is this correct?

I also have a 300 tdi and would be willing to swop gauge for mine which reads empty most of the time.You better warn colin as the shock of a gauge reading full may be too much for a fifer.
