Live with it.
There is a thread on here about a Dutchman who developed using a later float, over the strip a way to fix the problem. I think he stopped selling ??
You can zap it with a pezzio bbq lighter, without fuel obviously, sometimes it works, others not.
OR, duct tap over warning triangle of annoyance and use the trip meters and average fuel to work out when to tank next.
I aim for around 27L (6 gallons) ish then refuel, still leaving "officially" 6L left to play with. I did get 36L into mine when I decided to drain and brim it.

Or set trip with full tank and look for a filling station after 200 miles

That's what I do. Strangely enough, it seems reliable enough when it reaches reserve.http://www.ukgser.com/forums/search.php?searchid=10001544

Ditto...bought my '05 in 2013 and it was on it's 4th fuel strip then and still wasn't working properly.That's what I do. Strangely enough, it seems reliable enough when it reaches reserve.

Although it seems to work fine once fuel is low and light comes as it should after that.

If you have the original fuel pump, don't unplug your fuel strip as that will have you running out of fuel at about 25 litres used.
The strips usually fail on the level sensing circuit which makes the ECU think the tank is empty. That runs the pump at full power all of the time and ensures the tank will empty properly.

I can only imagine that someone who could only imagine would look up the imaginary thread!
Just gone back and has a look at real oem
According to the specs -
The 06 and any other varients with the 307 designator only have a fuel strip or electronic communication with the fuel strip
if they have the optional onboard computer
This would equate to having the mid or high ZFE module although the mid ZFE does come with ABS & no onboard computer
The low ZFE module does not have ABS either.
