The red warning light is 10% of the tank left on most cars, isn't it?

bttt what do you mean by 'in parallel'? i take it so both resisters are next to each other and going through the same holes rather than solder one leg of a resister onto the other like a chain type thing?

The blue/black on the Astra plug is for the fuel guage, I'm pretty sure it goes to the blue/black in the Corsa, I can't recall there being two though.

Anyway, your fuel gauge is going to read about a quarter full when it is in fact empty, heres how to sort it.
Find resistor R27 on the rear of the digidash. This needs to be 42 ohms, so replace it with a 100 ohm and a 68 ohm resistor in parallel, preferably rated at 3 watts or higher, this will sort it out.
I've got the above mod on my dash and it reads perfect.
Hope this helps.
