OK - Having patched up Lauren's car we put it in for its MOT today. Of course there were some issues, but the main problem is that they refused to test the emissions because the engine was making rattling noises... It rattles on start up, but then seems reasonably quiet unless you really rev...

Just got Lauren's Puma on the road again and took it for a quick spin. A few little niggles, most irritating is that the fuel gauge seems to be permanently stuck at 1/2 full? It reads this whether the ignition is on or not... Any ideas where to start looking for a fault like this's cause...
