Hello again.
So my car has been stood for a while (a month or two?) and when I turned the car on, I noticed that it was low on fuel and the fuel warning light was on, so I filled the car up with about £7 worth of fuel from a petrol can but the fuel gauge didn't move at all. Didn't really think anything of it, thought 5L of petrol wasn't enough to move the gauge up.
My car had been off the road for a few months as I said before, and a few days ago I taxed/insured it again. First thing I did was take it a petrol station and put some petrol in it (£20's worth). Fuel gauge didn't go up, I thought maybe it takes a while to go up but it's been 2 days and it still hasn't moved.
It's just stuck on completely empty and it's not moving at all.
I've done the instrument cluster test and the guage worked fine. I'm just wondering what it could be now?
If it's of any relevance, the car wouldn't start at one point at first turn of the key, and on another occasion, the car started but dropped in revs and died a sec or two later.
Any ideas? Any help is very appreciated because I don't know when I'm going to run out of fuel?!
