Good to hear. You'll have many miles of fun.

filled her up but petrol gauge only went up to half tank,again,any ideas

That happens to me too! LOL. Anything less than £40 only makes the gauge go halfway up. Sorry, seriously I dont know but I'd suspect a stuck float in the tank. Someone will be able to help.

Have a look underneath mate as it could have a second tank fitted as some plods do for motorway patrols as they would look a bit stoooopid calling off a pursuit because they ran out of fuel

Cheers

I have a boot floor - taken out of my car when new when the dealer fit rear seats were installed. So it is effectively brand new. Beige carpet colour.

I have no idea what it is worth - perhaps others on the forum can advise us?

My bad its actually an extended range tank will look similar to a standard tank fitting wise but it should be slightly larger width and length wise to carry the extra fuel
