Had similar issues with a Rexton and had the dash removed and repaired. Still a work in progress as this fixed the loss of odometer, but the fuel still says empty.

Gave a 2007 Actyon Sports with 227000km.
Temp gauge goes to hot and the alarm sounds usually after hitting a bump in the road. Chose to keep driving and have the engine run in limp mode or hope the next bump fixes it, or pull over, turn off, restart, and keep going.
Told by the dealer that this is a wiring fault in the loom or dash (known fault by Ssangyong).
Glow plug light is intermittent and is caused by a bad connector to plug. Cutoff old plug, use a small round wire connector, job done.

Change the thermostat. This is a common problem on Ssangyong diesels.

This happened to 2 SsangYong Rodius I've had. I thought it might be the thermostat, but when I asked the dealer about 2 years ago, he said he never had to sell a thermo, so I left it and it wasn't a problem. If I was driving up the motorway, the temp needle would just drop to cold and a few minutes later come back to normal. If I turned off the ignition and restarted, it would also return to normal. I never fixed it and it was fine.
