The grey water tank lights area showing full on my Sunlight Eurostyle control panel even though Inhave drained everything down for winter. The sensor in the tank is the same as the one in the fresh water tank - 3 or 4 metal rods of varying length that presumably detect the level of the water in the tank. Anyone else had this problem and if so any ideas how to fix it?

    I'd leave it be and see what happens next time the van is in use. Tank gauges are notorious for playing up and it may well sort itself.

    If you can access the sensors switch off all the power to the system, maybe disconnect the cables.  Use a good non-abrasive cleaner such as Flash on a wet cloth and gently clean them.  Get rid of all the fatty crud and rinse down.  Restore the power.  With luck it will be working again but as said above gauges are notorious for playing up and I would add usually quite inaccurate.
