Mine does, and it's a base spec 1.6.

Mine does, in fact, both of mine.

my 1.6 dose but both v6's dont shine a light
my fuel needle is below the E most of the time it takes about £10 to get from nealy running out to the E line but not got to the point in splutering yet which is good lol

You can't read dials? :P lol

mine doesnt either, '98 v6, is it normal for the fuel guage to always show the fuel level even with the ignition off?
-
Mine has no warning light–-Uk spec 97 V6.
Its a total arse pain as the gauge is not very indicative ---in fact its the worst gauge Ive had apart from my 1965 morris traveller.
I reset the trip every fill up and refill at 250 miles.
I also carry a gallon in the boot as a just in case.

Some car's do, some cars don't. It's normal either way.
My old se had the fuel warning light but my new one doesn't.

I know, what Im talking about is the needle, mine always shows how much fuel is in the tank whether the ignition is on or off, surely that means that voltage is being constantly supplied to the dial, which surely isnt normal since the ignition is off

**I've had mine so long (seven years) it's second nature now.
Totally full lasts 50 miles before it even moves.
Full to half takes another 100 miles.
Half to quarter takes another 50 miles.
Quarter stays at a quarter for another 70 miles, then plummets suddenly to just over empty.
Just over empty to empty takes 30 miles.
Empty at actually empty (two needle's widths below empty) is 30 miles.So "E" means "1 gallon left" and my range is 330 miles.**

Dont really understand the problem, this is the first vehicle Ive had with a fuel guage in 6years of being mobile, I just take it at face value, mine shows 1/4 left after 160miles, takes 29litres to fill back up. If it says empty then why run it any further? Whats the point of continuing when the possibility of running out of fuel could be imminent? Your still going to have to fill it back up again so its not like its gaining anything by letting it run low.

**Fuel = weight = performance killer!
Incidentally, you're getting 25mpg. Lots of short trips, by any chance?**
-
Lack of fuel = No performance at all
sorry that was pounds, normally use about 24-26 for that mileage which is composed of town, country and dual carriageway (road to work)

It's the ultimate in weight saving.

Thanks for that famine, helps a lot.
I get between 250 and 330 on a full tank depending on what Ive been doing.
-
I'm lucky to get 200 miles out of a tank at the moment…
But i do only short journeys to and from work every day....
Also i need to sort out my leaky cam cover gasket.. which may have something to do with it as well :roll:
-
anyone fancy a gauge cluster that has one ? it has 163048miles on it
-
well, im really surprised theres no light especially on a fuel guzzling V6! oh well, now i know I can keep an eye on it. Ill get it topped up, and my judgment for filling up will be based on the needle hitting the E line exactly (presume at that point ive got approx 30 miles to go)
thanks for clearing this up guys, much appreciated!

Me too fella, I've got a fresh gasket waiting for me to get off my lazy arse and do it and I only average about 6-7(full round trip-again I will emphasize lazy) miles a day too and from work and I'm probably lucky to get 200-250 out of a full tank in the four pot…
