Two things - I would first of all check the sending unit - you can get one
of those very cheap in the States at least. However, from your description
it does appear to be working (to some extent), so maybe your problem is in
your gauge. I have some problems with my sending unit for my oil-pressure
gauge, and have sent it off to Nisonger Gauge Repair (their address is in
the monster list - as somebody pointed out to me) - I believe they are in PA
- but then again, it might just be cheaper for you to borrow somebody else's
gauge, and check it that way.
Just my two cents,
