>I'm driving an '86 c900 with this problem. Where do I spray the >contact cleaner, please? Pull out the cover in the boot (trunk?) that's over the sender. There's a spaghetti set of terminals with about 7 wires (5 going right and two left from memory - it's ten at night and I'm not going outside in the rain to check!) Spray the lot. If that doesn't work, note down where all the wires go (did it *2nd* time), carefully pull the sender unit out and give it a few firm but careful shakes to see if there's any crap to dislodge. Replace, add wires and hope Murphy is having a holiday - else get another unit from the wreckers! The only one of mine it *hasn't* happened on is my current v.cheap 81 900T 8v. Cheers
