'Sorry your car is too low which causes the fuel senders to malfunction as they only work at a certain height'

I'm booked in for next wednesday to have my fuel senders and mats replaced and also once again the hatch opening problem has come back even with the new longer springs.

I filled up til it over-flowed just to make sure. Started the car and had 4 lights off!! Over the next day, I gradually went back - a light at a time - up to my original 1 light off.

I've got my 20k service due in the next few weeks. Would your advice be to let them check out the problem pre service so they have the parts ready or is it now a common enough problem for them to fix on the spot?

Dropped mine off this morning for the 10K and i too have mentioned the end two lights not working.
They just say we need to have a look, even made sure i filled the car up to the brim before i went in.

I would like to know what they do to fix the hatch, I had the longer springs fitted only three weeks ago, and it appears to stick again on every initial operation. Once it has been opened it continues to pop up without a problem, it's just the first time you open the hatch.
