    if they cant solve it quick yeah it will be pricey, if there or who is on there a game itll be cheap.

    though most of the time it will be pricey..

    try it yourself with a repair and service guide with a mulitmeter its a handy tool for electrics.

    could be faulty contacts or earthing at fuel guage, remove instrument cluster on dash,drivers side,theres a prong brass spring contact in behind guage that is renown to cause problems ,just needs cleaned and squeezed together a bit.On how to do this is in the How To in this forum.Regards Martin
