    1. If wd40 round the push button doesnt work, removal of door card will be needed. You need to push in the card round both handle to push out the pins holding them. Lubricate mechanism.

    2. Drain fuel tank. Remove sender unit from side of tank. Sender float will be stuck and need freeing off. Fit new gasket on assembly.

    3. Check linkage and adjust accordingly. May just need lubrication.
