Car facing down hill but only a small slope some might call"off flat" . Not sure if I can attach video ? trying but does not want to load ! .But Petrol Gauge shows 1 bar above the red zone so not empty . Battery has plenty of power So not flat etc . Would not fire at all today . UNTIL... I remembered my old D5 did the same on a wet dark night after buying it and the seller not mentioning the under seat pump float thing would stick and show the car had fuel but didnt !!

so this morning , i quickly added another gallon and it fired no problem . now got 1/2 a tank . drives fine

Could the Petrol V70 suffer the same with this float pump thing or could it be something else ? Thanks
