Thanks. I have now sourced one from Meteor Spares.

Mmm I think a 94 Toyota is rather different kettle of fish from what is essentially a pre war car. But to close this one off. I have now fitted the radiator with its new core and it runs nice and cool. In fact if I have a worry it is a bit too cool. But a thermostat is also now fitted, so I guess it...

If anyone has one they would be willing to sell to me please get in touch.

Thanks Geoff

Just to close this one off. I ordered a fuel sender unit from Moss. Their part number C2779. I also found the removable panel in the boot floor to expose the fuel sender unit. It was not very obvious and just needed a gentle prise off with a screwdriver. The sender was a perfect fit and needed no mo...

Many thanks Tony. Good of you to go out have a look! I don't seem to have the inspection hatch......but you have given me an idea. I should be able to pinpoint where exactly. I think I will just cut a hatch and them make up a little lid that will fasten down with set screws. Probably easier than get...

I have had a look at the tank. I was hoping that I might get access to the fuel sender without any major dismantling. It doesn't tell you how to remove it in the workshop manual. It would seem I have to remove the petrol tank to get access to it. Does anyone know any different? Maybe I am missing so...

Thanks very much for that Rob. I hope to get it out over the weekend. The gauge registers a bit and moves around a little bit when driving. But does show near empty when the tank is full. It maybe a float full of fuel and not rising.

Many thanks Tony. That was very helpful. I may find when I get it out that the float does have a hole and is full of fuel so I may be able to repair. This ethanol tends to ferret out tiny pinholes in the soldering.

My petrol gauge is not really working on my 1947 Rover 12. It jerks about a bit but that is it. The alternative oil level reading seems to work fine. I have therefore deduced that the most likely culprit is the sender unit in the fuel tank. I rang Meteor spares and they do not stock anything. It was...

Thank you for the service bulletin. That is very useful. I need to try and source a vacuum regulator as mine is missing. I simply have a line going straight from the inlet manifold to the pump
