2005 Vauxhall Vivaro fuel gauge flashing full then empty

Car: Vauxhall Vivaro
Year: 2005
Variant: 1.9tdi
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Hi, my fuel gauge is electronic and the light is flashing full then empty constantly with the emergency fuel light staying on constantly. It's a pain as I have to guess how much fuel is in the vehicle. Has anyone come across this before and if so how much would a garage charge to fix this. Cheers Tim in Swansea

Faulty sender unit or wiring.
Bad news is to get it out the tank has to come out.
