Thanks mate. Colour is Euroa gold. EJ Prem colour.

I know this is a very old post. I saw these photos and thought there maybe some interest in seeing what Hewey's old wagon looks like now. This is it now

Yeah I've changed the filter, Pulled the valve body off while I was there. Could not see anything obvious. I'll put it all back together tomorrow and see how it goes. It's been a day of learning. I had the valve body reassembled bolted back in when I relised I hadn't bolted the seperation plate to ...

OK so got the pan off. There is a couple of small bits of melal in the pan. Would this point to something broken? [image][/image]

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to pull the pan off today and see what I can find. I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi. My fuel gauge is not working. Now I tracked the initial issue down to a broken sender wire. While replacing that I think I have shorted out the dash unit. Now can't get it to move at all. Question. With the gauge out of the dash. Should the needle move freelie when I tilt the gauge?
