Wow - this is exactly what I have with mine at the moment - it essentially reads half of what it should be.

Ok - Had a look around - I know how to get to both units but no closer to understanding what might need doing once I get in there.

Well don't you just love Land Rover....
This was the top of the multiplug
And shining the torch inside the tank you can just see the float valve. It seems to be attached to something in the bottom of the tank (Pump etc I guess) so maybe on my MY2010 the tank has to come out to get to all that stuff..? So in short - Didn't find what I was expecting so put it all back together again for a rethink. The up side of all this however.... Turned the car in and the fuel gauge is working again.!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I'm not saying its a permanent fix but I'm happy for today.!

Ok just found a full diagram - should shed more light. You were only holding the tip of the iceberg! As far as I can tell, the connector you need is at the fuel pump end right at the bottom. Nos. 14-17

No I think it all related to the lower pump...

My gauge is starting to become erratic on my 2008 3.6.

Hi - yes is says cut off the black connector and replace with connectors. It does say which connectors with a PN. They are immersed in the tank / fuel so pretty sure you could find suitable ones.

Update on mine - had it back to dealer to sort several items under warranty.
Lots of fuel low warnings flashing so filled it. That tank got me as you can see 265 miles from the trip. Seems low. And - sadly only got 82 litres in it as you can see. (The previous two fills since receipt of the car have been 75 litre fills. Both times gauge saying empty). Paid my 100 quid and reset the trip. Will see what this brings range-wise. Needle goes to full. Couple of questions for people: a)What's typical range for a 2011 4.4 diesel? b) what's a normal fill in terms of litres once the fuel light comes on? .

I never let mine get below 1/4 tank reading, but from full it is usually showing about 350 - 375 miles on the trip and takes 70-75 litres to brim it again. It usually shows about 29mpg, but goes up to 32mpg if it includes a couple of decent motorway trips over 100 miles. Range when full usually shows just over 500 miles. Hope this helps.

Hi BB, thx - you are getting good range - 500 miles. And that estimate seems realistic too by the sound of it since you are filling at 25%ish. How many miles has yours done?
