Hi,

Got a knackered fuelk gauge.. It shows either half full or full...

will occasionally show the right fuel amount, but seems to stick there for days.

What is involved in fixing (replacing?) the fuel gauge. Its the standard Mazda issue, for an FD3S Type R.

At the moment I keep fulling up virtually every time I go out... just in case I\'m running low - the car is so new to me, that I\'m not used to its MPG yet.

if it helps you in the interim, a full tank gives about 200 miles.

Looks like its the float in the fuel tank sticking...

anyone been in and had a look at these before?
