Hi gauge on my Austin Devon van flickers between 1/4and 3/4 as soon as I switch on the ignition while driving doe not get any better
Is there a easy fix were do I start. Thanks

I would look at the electrical connections. You may just have a loose connection on the gauge or there may be corrosion where the wire connects to the sender unit.

IT is a long wire so check continuity and be sure you have a good earth.

If the connections check out you may have a faulty gauge.

As a last resort you may need to check the float on the sender unit for a leak.

Yes check/clean all connections, maybe try and get hold of another gauge and swap it over to see if the problem remains.
