Hi

Recently my fuEl gauge has become funny. Sometimes the needle just flicks back and forth so I don't know how much fuEl I have. Also the rev gauge also is not working. What can this be ??

^^^^^this, 8mm brass nut on the back of the gauge, tighten it up & it should work properly.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

That will most likely sort the fuel gauge, but is nothing to do with the tacho., or do you mean the econometer gauge under it?
If you mean the tacho., did it suddenly stop working on its own, or has any work been done to the car?
