couple of questions

Hi All,

So I've learnt 3 new things this week with the ZS.....

1) Once you go over 1/2 a tank the needle hardly moves at all based on the acceleration and pitch/yaw of the fuel in the tank itself; it has taken a bit longer to crank a couple of times with less than 1/4 a tank of diesel & hiccupped once or twice, so longer term swirlpot solutions will be needed.... for any-one who does the same as me and puts a 180 tank on a diesel....

2) I no longer have washers - it seems the pump has packed in, as there is no noise when I pull the lever.... are these prone to fail, and or is there an easy test for them? Are they on their own fuse circuit?

3) I also have a squeaking fan blower, is there a lube I can use to cure this, or do I just have to accept that it is noisy and/or replace this as well? (and once more even with resistors not the OE coils, number 1 fan setting has packed in again!)

I'm def glad I have a quiet* comfy GT, if the ZS was still my goto car of choice I'd be struggling with the niggles right now!

*quiet in terms of isolation from squeaks, bumps, bongs & rattles rather than engine noise, tho the ZS is louder at low RPM/low throttle openings.....
