Just received my 280mm sender from eurospares, fuel gauge has gone from 12% upto 63%, that the best part of £50 spent just to get the correct fuel reading on a £30k+ car, if i tried telling anyone outside of the Morgan world i'm sure they wouldn't believe me!!!!
Just need an empire kit, rear sprocket, and a steering wheel that doesn't bend !!

The website is www.europaspares.com and it is a VDO part, p/n 224011000280G. It's an easy job to replace it. Although the accuracy is better than the original 240mm sender, in that it doesn't show 0% with half a tank or more of fuel, it is not "normal car" accurate. I still reset the trip distance when I fill up and look for fuel at 200 miles or so.

"can you believe the gearknob was held on by wrapping tape around the top of gear stick"Yes, I can, it's a Morgan and it depends on who made it. I'm not saying that is the way it should be of course, and if they were proper car makers it wouldn't be like that, but .........
