Thought it might be worth a post to see if any of you guys/gals had come across this issue before.

My dad's Cooper S has an intermittent fault with the fuel gauge- sometimes when you turn the car on the level does not move from zero and the trip computer registers "--" although just as often it works fine.

It's not really a show stopper as he only uses the car for short trips and keeps the fuel level a healthy level about quarter tank but I just wondered if any one had come across this before and if it was simply the case of rebooting some electrical system or it was just a basic fuel sender problem?

It's only just crested the 3 year mark so thought it was worth an ask if it was a DIY job as now it's out of warranty.

Cheers in advance
