check your fuses in the fuse box on the drivers side inner guard.
Did you have anything in the boot? Check the wires on the sender unit on/in fuel tank.

oooh, you have upset the mini Chi with the new radiator. might have to make a virgin sacrifice to appease karma.

How many amp fuse did you put in? It should be a thirty amp 3AG glass fuse.

Nah...its obvious, water and electricity are a dangerous combination

Just keep putting stronger fuses in until it stops blowing that's what I did .

Sorry but i have to say.

This site has turn to be less and less useful. How is it that the mod let people post anything in any forum? If you ask a question should you expect a answers? And is it for tis kind of crap that the Poolroom and the General discussion have been created.

This site used to be a very good source of information but now it see to be more about post count then anything else. A bit sad really.

I am having trouble with a car we all like and was hoping to get some help here but it seem that more and more people prefer to take the piss.

There is still very usefull people here but more and more crap in mini chat forum.

Where is Poeee......

Just a idea lois but has your ignition switch any worse than it was before. Maybe the ignition switch has finally died, as both your fuel gauge and stereo are fed from the ignition switch. As far as forums are concerned, any advice read from the internet should be regarded as ideas only. Anyone can type a information, that's why most universities don't allow internet references.

Does your van have the same steering column? If so try taking the column out of your van and plugging that ignition switch in (one black plug), and see if anything changes. If you are stuck for a spare steering column with ignition switch attached let me know, I may have one.
