Hi (didnt want to create multiple threads so i'll just list my problems here)

I have a citroen saxo furio W reg that i got last month (have only just got the damn thing insured lol)
Anyway there are one or two small/large problems on it.

First. the petrol gauge is always on low (orange light) even though i have filled it to the brim and also the rev counter (thing on right hand side) does seem to move at all either.
Any idea?

Second. the breaks seem very how you say ****, it takes a good press on the pedal to slow the car down and the handbrake needs to be pulled very far up (about 7-8 clicks).
Do i need them adjusting?

And third, what coolant/oil do i need?

Thanks in advance :-)

could be the sender guage in the tank is fubarred.
with the brakes it could be the pads are in need of changing and the fluid could be in need of a change. oil, a good quality one and not a supermarket special. try looking at opie oils, they do a service kit at a reasonable price.

Thought as much about the breaks and i'll check that out, thanks :-)
Is a sender gauge a big job?
