Unhappy P0460 and 1642 Erratic Fuel readings?

Just in the last few days the fuel guage on my 2001 XK8 has being playing up. One time it showed completely empty so I switched off the engine and restarted the car and the fuel guage showed 3 quarters full which was correct. This has now happened a few times.


Today its reading a quarter full which is not correct. It usually clears itself when I switch the car off and on (reboot)


Also, today I got an "orange engine light" up on my rev counter but no error message.


My ODB meter reads P0460 - Fuel level sensor A circuit malfunction and 1642 - Manufacturer control.


I thought initially it could be a low battery and so every night I put on the trickle charger, but I am still having the problem.
I had a new battery fitted around 18 months ago and a new fuel pump about a year ago


The car is running great no misfires or anything.
I have erased the ODB readings.


Has anyone had this fuel guage problem before??
