Either a bad earth or the fuel gauge sender is faulty.

I'd imagine its the sender going on personal experience, but as said it could also be an earth. The sender and pump are one unit, in the tank under the rear seats, need to unscrew it and lift it out, obviously disconnecting everything first. You can give it another earth as well and see if that works, explained in here http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...ght=Fuel+gauge

Is it only the fuel gauge needle that's playing up ? A bad earth mostly causes more needles to play about. Fuel gauge sender will be kapoot.

At the bottom of the each side where the carpet comes up to the dash are 2 earthing points for the dash.
