I have the following problem with these two gauges:

Fuel guage will often swing between absolute empty and absolute full and,
often won't read anything.

The Temp gauge just gave up the ghost despite the fact it had been working
while the fuel gauge was going through its tantrums.

I've checked the fuse box to ensure power is going to the green cabling.
I've checked the back of the gauges to ensure proper connections.  The
connections appear to be OK at the voltage stabiliser.  So what can the
problem be?  The wiring diagram shows a large connector block that feeds
green cables to various points including the voltage stabiliser.  Where is
this connector block? 

The only change I have maded electrically is to install a relay, wired up as
per Egil Kvaleberg's web pages to run the electrical fuel pump.  New wiring
was used here.

Any ideas?

Dan Masters where are you?
