Thanks, that sounds very promising - the fuel gauge also gradually drifts down to zero when the other instruments are off. I seem to recall a similar problem years ago on my old Sigma - fuel gauge misbehaving and I think it was a voltage regulator that was pushed into a socket or something, rather than soldered - cleaned the legs and the fuel gauge worked well until the car was traded in (for the value of the residual registration!)

If there is one - it should just be a three leg device in a TO-92, or maybe TO-220 package??
