The later rangies have a single 10v voltage regulator feeding both of those gauges. It's located in the instrument binnacle.
A little playing with a multimeter should let you trace from the gauge back to it's location, but you'll have to remove the instruments from the vehicle first.
A new regulator from dick smith is only a few bucks, but there's the hassle of wiring it in.
The gauge is basically an ammeter, 10v supplied to one side and the other side earthed though the variable resistance of your fuel or temp guage.

Both the fuel and temp gauges are supplied from a voltage regulator.
It's the metal can thing located in the instrument panel.
Mine displayed similar symptons a while ago, but it ended up being a fuse.
Have you got reversing lights?
(same fuse)

ile check the reverse lights for sure. i have had it happen before as well and it was one of the 3 fuses but not this time had a simlar problem years ago that stoped the diff lock light comeing on and the fuel pump an auto sparky fixed that and it was cheap as fuck but cant remember what the problem was

At least yours should have reasonable wire lengths.460cixy wrote:by 86 they probly had fuses. i cant beleave this things got 3 fuses
The headlights in mine take power though the fuse box by the passengers leg. That's about 6m more wire than it needs, giving 2v less than the front lights should get.
