The fuel gauge on my IS 200 isnt working properly, when I got the car it was showing empty and the light was on, I filled it up and it still said the same. About 5 miles down the road I hit a bump and the needle shot up to half full. Can anyone give me any advice please, does the tank have a float in it? If it does how do I get to it or do you have any other suggestions Ok I get the point, I've altered the type size. Thanks everyone for the replies but you missed one thing, it shot up to half full when I had filled it up the neck, or at least I thought I had, I had to force the last 4 quid in or am I missing something there as well, are these awkward to fill? Mind you petrol pumps can be over sensitive as well. I guess I will keep a gallon in the boot then run it empty and see how much I can get in.

Any chance of some advice please. I have just bought a 2000 IS 200 navigator and there is a problem with the nav screen, it basically changes colour when it feels like it, tilting affects it, tapping it affects it in fact one time it turned off. I have read that it may be the flexible cable but how do you get to it or remove the screen to see if it is something loose in there. Cheers to you all in anticipation of your help. Stewart
