May 10th, 2006, 16:54

ive recently bought a 1989 740 gl which is in emaculate condition , the only probs i can find with the car is the cluster lights dont work and neither does the fuel guage . does anyone have any ideas as to what i may try to resolve this?

Cluster lights: Youve found the dimmer knob?

Fuel Gauge. It's normal for it to read incorrectly. Well documented on the Site. I'd suggest a search and read up as there are a few differing reasons for it occuring
