Hello
My brass screw at the back of the fuel gauge has snapped off, my question is do I need to replace the fuel gauge, the whole cluster or I can leave it as is, I still have the nut.
Thanks Gill

However, you need to make sure you get the correct gauge as there are a few options available. The wrong gauge will result in inaccurate readings.
Is it fairly easy to replace the fuel gauge on its own or should i just get a new cluster?

Thank youWillNZ wrote:It is a simple job to change just the gauge. This way you keep the correct mileage.
The brass nut secures the gauge in place, once removed, the gauge pulls free of the cluster. You just have to split the housing by removing all the screws holding it together.
