Took the car out on Sunday for a drive in the sun. Got to destination but when parking (thankfully)I lost all brakes - pedal just went to the floor with no brake force evident. Drove round a car park for 5 mins and still no brakes. Swithched off and called AA. By the time AA turned up brakes...

Many thanks Just been reading your replies whilst watching the Good Life episode where Tom does his back in and the Doctor visits. I have read the posts and I started with a AH HA.This then turned rapidly into an IC and ending up in an O DEAR. I think the coolant leak in actually comming form...

Have an oil leak from the botton rear of the engine. Havent investigated too much but have read that some times leaks are caused by blocked breather pipes. Where should I look to eliminate this as a potential cause. Ta NT "75 2200TC Lunar Grey (Green?)

New sender fitted and all ok. Now for the speedo milometer repair! NT

All sorted. Have a working fuel gauge Was in fact a dodgy sender unit previously fitted although was pretty new. One thing to mention though that caught me out was olives!! The two fuel pipe connectors use olives to seal and they didnt come with the new sender. Not a criticism but need to be...

Looks like sender is U/S Purchassed new sender. Connected said new sender to circiut via some long pre-made wires. Sat in comfort inside car - swithched ignition on and moved float on new sender up and down. Gauge mimics sender. Now need to use fuel up before changing sender. Thanks for Help...

Purchassed an new sender. Connected to the circuit and the gauge now registers. Will fit sometime soon. Thanks for all suggestions NT

Still no further. tested 2 gauges to earth and they both read full. One has 12 gal and the other has 15 gal on the dial. As mine is a 2200TC I presume the correct gauge is 15 Gal?. Re wired and continuity checked the earth to the rear inner wing opposite the battery (thanks Chris Y). Earthed...

Ahh!! Having just typed last post just realised - have I cheched the wrong earth? I didnt check the actual earth wire going to the sender between body just the terminal on sender without wire connected to it. Where will the black wire be earteh to? so I can check next weekend. NT

Right- this is where I am after a Saturday pm lying on my back for the first time under a P6. Both the black (earth?) and black/green(live?) were connected to the sender which looks new as its shiny and clean. Disconnected both wires. Connected the Green/black to battery earth with made up cable...

Thanks By testing the earth do you mean continuity between the wire and the car body? As I said electrics arent my bag. Cheers NT

Thanks Will get underneath the weekend an check. Have been reading up on forum past posts and will earth the sender to check that the circuit is sound. NT
