hi mate
if you look in your cars handbook and look up fuses it should tell you which one it is! not so far away from you myself (colne) i had trouble with my fuel gauge but it ended up to be fuse.

the sender unit is under the rear seat, theres two large black covers pop the right one up and check the connections are ok firstly, im not sure which fuse it would be on so obviously check every one to make sure, you never know might be something simple, someone on here probebly knows how to test the sender if needed

Hi,thanks for the help,handbook has no specific listing for fuel gauge but lists instrument panel,maybe its that one but will check all fuses.
cheers
