better clarify that. Better if you’re trying to save fuel. Won’t be swapping cars with the missus anytime soon.
Actually do like driving it strangely enough.

There's clearly a reason a V6 ZB uses less fuel than a modified V8 VF with three less gears... Personally I'd pay the extra $4.50 per 100km and take the Clubby any day!

My local Holden dealer has plonked a couple of second hand ZB,s on his yard first time in months.
One is a 18 VXR at $42990 with less thank 6000kms.
One is a 18 RS v6 at $27990 with 40000kms.
The RS has an issue I see a lot on RS models. The lower body fairing is loose where it joins the body in front of the rear wheel. Is this an easy fix. It is secured at the lower point not the higher point. Looks like the ''glue''? at the top point comes away. Is this an easy fix?

Local dealer has a 2l Rs for $31000 drive away 2018 brand new just can't sell it

As long as no one abuses others coz they hold different opinions, I think this thread will be fine.

Is anyone else unable to get a full tank of fuel in their ZB? Most times I can only get between 3/4 and full. Only a couple of times I have got a full tank on the gauge.
Is it a sender/gauge/calibration fault or I am doing something wrong when filling?

I've had the same issue even when the tank is physically overflowing. Gauge shows 3/4 after filling then slowly creeps up to ~7/8 after driving a bit. Never full though. Seems to be a calibration issue to me based on that.

What are you trying to say?

I've only closed threads by one overzealous user after he didn't take on the friendly advice to tone down his rhetoric so I take offence by your statement.

Exactly the same. Even with fuel running out of the filler it still only reads 7/8th max. I notice there is a sticker on the inside of the filler door with a right and wrong picture of how to insert the bowser nozzle... Ive tried both ways.. no different.
