Before everyone tells me where the fusebox is, and i will want to know that too, The fuel guage was playing up all day yesterday. When i got in Yesterday it read almost empty. Just before i set off it read completely dry. I filled her up to he top which only took 24ltrs and it then read 3/4. Everytime i looked it read something different. Up then down and eventually now it is dead. The wiper has not worked at all since yestrday morning which makes me think it may not be a fuse. Are these on the same or different fuses?

They are different fuses - see factsheet in member's area.
The gauge is probably a bad earth on the tank sender - lots of info on this already on the forum.
The cover for the fuse box is to the right of the driver's right foot - you can't miss it.

tony i did a factsheet for electrical problems regarding the back end. usually problematic with the grommet on the tailgate, cables snap due to opening and closing the door. you can get the same problems with the drivers door.
fuel guage will most probably be the sender earth in this damp weather, very poorly soldered in place.
