    Starving of fuel

    Have you had you fuel pressure checked? When was your fuel filter last replaced? The fuel pump switches off 2 seconds after ignition on signal if the vehicle is not started.

    Ecotec Has Better Economy Than Alloytec??

    The VZ is around 200kg heavier than a VS. This should account for some of the apparent fuel discrepancy.

    Orange Fluid Dripping on to Sump?

    Take the pulley off the water pump to find where the coolant is coming from. The gasket sealant on my pump failed. You could try and nip the pumps bolts up a bit if weeping from gasket. Careful as the bolts are only 10nm.

    thermo fan

    Put you dash display into diagnostic mode. Scroll till you come to the coolant temp. Go for a drive. My temp sits in the low 90's while driving. Just above quarter on guage. You will be able to find out by watching the temp readout while idling at what temp the fan starts.
