Thanks Nev, I'll go and have a search around ebay. 

I've got a similar problem, one of my rear LED lights on my 2010 Vellfire has stopped working. Does anyone know the best place to get a replacement? (Hopefully I'll get more replies than Oddcouple?)

TIA, Neil

I have the same issue, see this thread. I just live with it but it is a bit annoying on longer journeys. 

We got this one:

Vango - Faros II Low | 10.4kg > Awning

When I got my Vellfire from Northstar on the Isle of Wight, they had loads of seats spare from conversions. They might let you have one?

the parts total cost $150, shipping included. And labor is not known yet.  

I can’t justify that to fill up every three weeks instead of every two but thanks for the info

I had the same problem with my 2007, went to the mechanic, and suggested changing the sender (83320), waiting for parts to arrive in Canada, and replacing the part to see if it was the problem.

 

Thanks Kreuz, do you have a rough idea of the cost of parts and labour for that?  

My 2.4 does 29mpg which goes up to 33mpg on a long run. It doesn't seem underpowered to me but I'm not a speedy driver. My only criticism would be it's noisy at low speeds, especially from the outside. At least people hear you coming though.

Which is about 64 miles, assuming 30mpg = 2.1g = 10litres so your range shows 0 after 49 litres. That seems similar to mine, thanks Goz.

Whatever vehicle you have, it is never a good idea to run the tank dry.

To be safe, fill to three quarter full, run down to quarter full and top up to three quarters.

 

Unless doing the NC500, half a tank should be plenty, even between isolated petrol stations.

OOI why only three quarters full? 

Thanks Coog, I don't know if I'm brave enough to run it till it dies.

I think it might be best for me to leave it at the moment as it's not a big problem, just an inconvenience sometimes but I don't do that many miles. If I get some spare time, I might investigate Torque or similar, that looks interesting. Thanks again.

Thanks Chris, that's a bit better than my 43 but still a bit odd?

I have a 2010 2.4 Vellfire and ever since I've had it, I can only fill the petrol tank up to just over 3/4 on the gauge before the pump clicks off. The most I've ever managed to put in is 43 litres when I'd done quite a few miles with the petrol warning light on. Given the tank is supposed to be 65 litres, that seems a bit low. Fuel consumption seems OK, I can get 33mpg on a long run. All I can think of is there is some kind of air lock in the tank or the warning light comes on too early, or both. Has anyone seen this before and/or does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks

Neil
