arse...!!!

My 2002 td5 key fob refuses to unlock the car every now and again.
The only way to get it to work is by restting the code  by useing the key in
the lock method as per handbook instruction..
This seems to work so far . I am afraid it will let me down all together one

The petrol gauge on my V8 D1 stopped working today, suddenly dropped from
1/4 full to empty and won't rise. Any ideas where I start looking for the
