Which fuel Gauge? Ok, I need an external fuel gauge to suit the Mk5 Fiesta fuel sender I'm using.
This thing reads 16 ohms full and 132 ohms empty...
I know its a long shot but any idea where I can get something that will work?

I know it's £30, but you can use any gauge you want (well, most!) with one of these

The stack one is programmable to what ever sender your using. Not very locost though they are about 90 quid.

Why is this country such a rip off? Theres tons of then in the good old USA for buttons..
This one would be ideal if it wasnt for the postage, in fat the turbo I bought from over there didnt cost that must!!

I hate to be negative, but the vast majority of parts found on these cars is WAY cheaper in your country. Gauges are often extremely expensive in
North America. I guess the 12 year old Chinese children are getting paid better these days, i don't know.

Get this
Its just 4 leds, you set them up to turn off at whatever levels you want, so it works with almost every sender (cant remember if the sender needs to
send high or low resistance when empty)
4 tiny holes drilled in the dash and he even supplies the leds with little push in clips
