T-Cut is quoting "from an old BMW document" and from "comments made on a BMW forum and from reports by members of the forums." In other words the six figure reading applied to BMW cars which have the LH and RH senders wired separately to the diagnostics. 75/ZT owners noticed that a reading was present only for the RH sender, assuming this was a fault. T-Cut then examined the wiring to discover that the separate LH and RH senders are wired together at the tank connector. We don't know why this was done but it may have been because the MGR instrument pack was designed with only one input for a fuel tank sender.

So yes, the test 6.0 reading of 109330 was to illustrate what to expect from BMW cars but it took no account of modifications done by MG Rover.

Is that any clearer Mac? If not, do please reply.
