Rough idle and Fuel guage
 
Odd thing here. I've got an 03 Disco with about 40K on it. I noticed that it's idleing wierd. In regular intervals the engine sounds like it's going to die and then it resumes as normal. This happens several times in a minute (while at speed or stopped). At the same time I noticed this, I also noticed that my fuel guage isn't responding correctly. I'll put in what I know is a full tank (I know this because my wallet is empty) and when I start the car back up the guage shows some seemingly random level. After driving for 30 minutes or so, it SLOOOWLY starts to show full. I've tried turning the car off and back on again, but that doesn't seem to help. Is there any connection between these items?

Thanks,
Brian

I am thinking you have 2 problems, and aren't you still in warranty, think it is time to see the dealer.

Update

Dealer can't get me in for two weeks.... Whatever. Now it runs like I've dropped a cyclinder and the Service Engine Soon light is flashing. I'm starting to REALLY get tired of this thing breaking.
