My fuel gauge has a mind of it's own and prodomenatly shows as full, leaving me having to rely on the force to sense how much fuels left in. Is this a common fault and if so, is it easy to rectify?

It could be the fuel level sender, or it could be the gauge. It is showing full without the ignition on?

No, only when the engines running.Straight up and stays there?

the wire which goes to the sender unit is probably earthed to the bodywork somewhere along the line.
or it could be the float inside the fuel sender stuck at the top of the cylinder.
