Mat, my 95 has the identical symptoms as you have. However I noticed that at 750-800rpm (idle) it flickers, but if i simply tap on the throttle and keep it at a steady 900-1000rpm the light goes off? WTF?
Let us know if the sending unit fixes your problem. Is this sending unit right beside the filter? Is it hard to replace?
I am going to order one and see if it solves the problem.
