How quick are you lot? :D Right i'm just about to attack my dash with a screwdriver to try and get to the back of the fuel needle. Apparently theirs a brass nut behind to tighten up that is usually the prob? the needle twitches about from full to empty then stops on empty. Is this easy can a mechanical retard like me sort it?? cheers

You'd have to be a proper retard not to be able to tighten the brass nut, tools required spanner and phillips screwdriver.
