Needle stuck in the sender, sender on top of the tank located as stated, try taking it out & WD 40 the sender arm, but I doubt that will cure the problem, regards the Radio code! that's a no-go area o here Anthony.

Regards the radio code, if it is the original 9 year old unit it's not worth what Ford will charge you to request the code. Just go to Halfords and get the cheapest stereo they have in stock - it will still be an improvement. And once you've finished doing the van up and are ready to sell it, anything that can pick up the Chris Moyles show will do for a Transit driver!
