Guys
My ML appears to have developed an odd problem with the fuel gauge, whereby it reads empty if I fill the tank right up. According to the US website this is a common problem. A temporary solution calls for fuse 5 to be pulled and then replaced from fuse holder RSE2. I had a look last night and I don't have the fuse block it states is under the passenger footwell near the glovebox. I checked the main fuse box under the bonnett and I don't appear to have a fuse for the fuel gauge, although F37 (I think) is for the fuel pump. I guess the full solution could be a new fuel pump sender but I don't want to spend that amount on the car this month. Could therefore anybody offer any advice on a temporay solution that might get it working for now? I was wondering if disconneting the battery for a while might achieve the same result, but I am a little unsure whether this approach is a good idea! Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks all.
