300 tdi fuel warning lamp

Hi chaps
The zepplin is a 1998 farmer spec 300 tdi, the low fuel warning light has never worked on this car I am just wondering should it or was it some sort of "optional extra" fuel gauge works fine and there is a bulb in the lamp holder on the warning light cluster
TIA

Try a different bulb first, I have the same model and fuel warning light works OK. Then have a look at the wiring at the tank end. Jeff

Check at the tank - not all of them have it connected up. My 110 certainly doesn't. Ed
