so today i was driving and my fuel and temp guages didnt move they just sat at zero, so far having the car less than a week ive noticed the fuel guage to be a bit jumping but after driving 10 mins it comes fine but today nothing. anyone know whats up?

it will probably be the votage regulator in the cluster. It gets very hot and the solder joints crack. A little sodler action and you can have it fixed.

hit the dash on the top above the gauges. I do this all the time to get the speedo and fuel gauge working.

you reckon it might be your fuel sender and temp sensor playing up. Mine does that too (just the fuel gauge), shows a bit of a reading (not sure how acurate though) and then dies. When I flick it onto gas however, the fuel guage reads fine.
