Any ideas how to remove the carpet for accessing the fuel sender panel on the fuel tank please? know roughly where the panel is but the carpet seems well and truly fixed. thanks.

Well if you mean the flap under the rear most seats, its easy, ( must be because I did it), just slide the rear seats as far back as poss, slide the middle seats forward as poss, this will give plenty of room, grab the carpet and give it a good tug, it will come up allowing access to the flap, when my sender failed I ended up making another earth for good measure, the carpet went back easy as well, it may take quite a tug to start but keep going I gave everything a good clean and spray with grease but remember to test it before you put things back, I didnt and ended up doing it twice. good luck happy motoring.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go later. Fingers crossed.

Dave,

Just to confirm, you say move the rear seats back as far as they will go, but my rear-most seats fold up out of the way, is it the same for all Bongos?

I tested the fuel sender unit, it appers that it is definitely faulty. Gauge reads zero when disconnected and when you earth the live supply it reads max, gauge works fine, also there is 3.6 V in the circiut. Found a good earth, still not working. Anyone know where I can get a new sender unit from please? Thanks.

Nick

Sorry been partying only just come round. No there are loads of variants, some have the bench rear seat as mine, other the fold up like yours, ( which I would love) and the rest have some ugly kitchen or other cluttering up the rear end.( oh I expect I am for it now). Happy motoring.
