106 fuel gauge - ses
The car is a peugeot 106 extra time 1997 with only 25000 miles from new. The fuel gauge only works when it wants to so should I just replace the sender in tank or are they prone for something else maybe? If its the sender unit in the tank is this straight forward?
Any experienced opinions appreciated
Pete.

could be a bad earth /contact on the sender unit mounted on top of the tank. Access is under the rear seat cushions. under a plastic access cover. Best to disconnect the barttery first.

Or it could be a fault on the dashboard PCB.. ,,,:-(
