That cost estimate looks a bit light - I just priced a new sender from Zupps on the Gold Coast; $159.10 just for the sender.
I'd imagine at least another $100 - $150 for them to do the work.
I might try pulling it out and cleaning it up first.
Cheers, Mike.

Thanks for the useful info, I found that just removing the sender, and cleaning the contacts, plugs and entire sender unit with electrical contact spray fixed my problem. Take the fuel cap off or your tank will be pressurised, or alternately, I undid the retaining bolts first. This releases the pressure and prevents the line spewing fuel in your car. Experience taught me this. I am no mechanic, but hopefully something useful can be taken from this.
