Got a bit of a problem with my ZS. 1st thing in the morning it struggles to start, but if you blip the throttle as it's trying to start it fires up and runs fine. Sarah's driving it during the day and says it doesn't do it during the day.

I'm wondering if the battery is dying, if it's plugs, knackered coil ends or if it could be water getting to the plugs (it's been losing a bit of coolant every few weeks) and then that would suggest HGF is starting/developing?
