Does anyone know where to get a rubber gasket for the fuel sender unit and what type of sealer to use?

    I just fitted a new sender yesterday! Mine was only reading 3/4 when I filled the car then was reading empty after 100 miles, I checked out the MPG and got it to around 40 so I knew it was lying! I filled the car to the brim then made a note of the mileage, I then did 200 miles to run the tank low enough to remove the sender without fuel coming out or running out of fuel, knock the ring around remove and refit with a new rubber ring, I would make sure the ignition is off just in case...

    Been driving around like it for a year, if I fill it up it reads full then after a couple miles it will drop to empty! Been trying to keep it low on fuel so I can get it done maybe just a little too low. Thanks for the advise, just ordered a seal and locking ring off ebay so hopefully will get it done start of next week.

Oh dear. Just don't seem to be having much luck lately. Well if it happens in threes then my luck should hopefully change!

    Hope the third problem isn't too bad?

    Problem with the mini. The handling has been terrible and we've found that the subframe is slightly loose. Thankfully we think we know what it is and parts ordered so should be ok! :)

    Click view in the action bit, sometimes it doesn't refresh until you have done that

    It's cool, i found out that the courier who collected it had a dud thingymagigy so said she would log the collection when she got home, obviously she forgot.
    I sent a message to myhermes outlining my concern so they can sort it. i expect it will appear at the next checkpoint

So ebay are useless and will not help so my dads, my sisters and my account are all permanently suspended, and on top of that, just got a £65 fine for turning left where apparently I couldn't :(

    Just had a quick squint through he resolution centre and it says that you should have received an e-mail telling you why your account has been suspended

    I had an email saying raised security concerns and that I would not be able to use ebay in any way. No more specifics and no chance to appeal.
