Sounds like one of the connectors on the sender has either come off (only blade connectors IIRC) or the wire has broken.

Nar mate the wires run through a grommit under back seat but the guage is a mare to do as its at the bottom of the tank so needs to be drained mines does exactily same as yours and ive never got to the bottom of it??????

my gauge seems to work from empty to a quarter full, after that it reads empty, then after the third quarter full to full it works again.... strange

You can see the sender if you look under the back bumper, not quite at the bottom of the tank but if you know what the tank looks like you'll see it lol Does need to be drained of fuel to change though as above.

Changing that would be bottom of my list though. Given all the bother you had with the fuel pump and wiring I'd give that a go first. Then check the clocks and the wiring behind them.
