Another issue:

Buggered gauge?

That's possibly why the engine won't run properly they need around twenty litres in the tank.to run properly from empty.

Seconded.
Might explain some of your running problems.
You can run them down to almost empty but once they run out you will need 20 litres to get it going again.

The gauge will only move when the ignition is on, when you switch it off it will stay in the same place.

Would the clutch bracket on the diesel version be the same as the 180?

I ordered the ones from ebay but there a different thread. The guy i got the wheels from has the diesel ZS which he is stripping for parts...

Compatible?
