    well on my ice my petrol gadge and petrol light doesnt work. im using typhoon 125 clock because they was easier to fit the loom.

    the wires are connected up and the float is working. (tried two different ice tanks).

    also my indys dont work but used to when i had a switch gear. (connected up all the right colours so they should work).

    here a pik of the clock. for no reason :D

    oh LOL didn;t think that through

    erm hold the gauge in place with blue tack at the base to halfway then or something :confused:?

    I cant imagine it not passing because of that though, its a accessory not a necessity.

    Mine passed without, but then again its a 50

    3 different spellings of, that meter thing for petrol now im confused :wtf:

    If the gaudge was on bottom then the light wud have to be on surely?

    but yeah do as minor says, small piece of copper wire link up 2 of the 3 pins in the connector and see whats what (Y)

    I found my problem with my Typhoon, check right at the pins at the tank sender unit, had a bad conection there, take it off, and clean them up....see if that works, it did for me.....
