Renault Laguna fuel gauge going to max when ignition turned on

Car: Renault Laguna
Variant: 1.8 sports tourer
Model Year: 2001

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

when i turn the ignition on the fuel gauge goes to max and the central display (in middle of instrument cluster)doesn't work.although you can faintly see the 'start'logo.
The battery was flat and car had to be jump started the battery has now been charged but the problem persists.
Any help would be appreciated..

Probably just bulb on central display . Might also be knackered fuel tank sender unit but could check wiring .

if its a laguna I it almost certainly not a fault but the 1st 30secs when the ignition is switched on the fuel gauge acts as a oil level indicator, sounds mad but its true
