hi ive got a prob with my 1996 uk impreza turbo the fuel gauge has stop working and cars cutting out at junctions after i been using the turbo ??? any ideas

Fuel gauge is probably a dodgy sender (in fuel tank accessible through plate in boot floor "i believe")

Only time mines ever started cutting out were a knackered maf sensor though could be other stuff, idle air control valve for instance, worth a search on the net an see what it brings up.
