   Right this could be a really easy fix and I kinda think that its my fuel gauge that's having a little fit to itself some days but basically, hit a problem the other day . Basically my petrol gauge was showing that I had fuel in the car but when I went to start it, it wouldn't work, so after playing with the car and getting a new crank sensor i finally decided to try and see if adding more fuel made it go which it did .
   
   Again the same problem happened today where the fuel gauge shows that I have more than enough fuel for the car to go yet it didn't again until I added fuel. However, when i'm driving the car for the last time before I turn it off and then it doesn't start, the car doesn't splutter or make any noises to show its got no fuel which i'm finding really odd :/.
   
   Has anyone else had this problem or know what the F**K is up with my Shitroen?
   
   Sorry for the rant I hope everyone understands what I just wrote

   I Think the fuel's not beeing pumped through if its displaying that you have fuel then cutting out, get that check out and possibly solve the situation

   right still having this problem, i have a feeling that it could be the fuel pump on its way out but not 100% sure as i don't really know alot! I have had the car plugged into a computer but as its a different the computer wont recognise any faults with the car so i'm pretty much stumped right now? Any suggestions and i'm happy! it does start eventually its just very inconvenient as i use the car daily. Any suggestions?
