FUEL GAUGE

Just took the car out,for the first time ,since I bought it to restore .It surprised me how fast they are also its quite a bumpy ride when you`re not used to a sporty form of transport .Just one question does the fuel gauge remain on the correct level,even with ignition off as in photo,as most cars the needle drops to zero with IGN off Len

Yeah the fuel gauge does that, it’s how a lot of modern gauges work, when you switch the engine off, the needle will just stop wherever it sees fit. I the ignition needs to be on to get a correct reading.

I can’t remember if yours is an F or TF……. The F ride pretty good if they’ve not leaked all the nitrogen gas outta the suspension spheres and someone has tried to compensate by pumping in to much hydragas fluid in to get the ride height correct.

If it’s a TF then they don’t ride as well a an F with it’s suspension in good condition, but they are more consistent as they age.

The early instrument cluster confirms that it is a MK1 F.

Your right Cobber I'm definitely more incontinent as I age
