The petrol gauge does not drop to zero when the engine is off. Is it faulty or is this normal? Im sure previous cars I've had have gone to zero then moved when the engine is switched on.

Yes all fords are the same - they are designed this way so that you do not have to switch on the ignition to see how much fuel you have left.

My Ford Tranny is the same but my Sierra drops to zero when the ignition is off, the only trouble is when the needle doesn't drop whoever looks at the gauge from outside can see how much fuel you have and drain off what they like from underneath as I know this has happened to people I know especially if you have a diesel....
