This could be one of the reasons.
The main reason for the slow filling of the tank is a plastic tab in the filler neck of the fuel tank.

New blower resistor, the later type next to the blower itself. Glad it wasn't on the Mk7, that looks a right one to get at.

Well done that man :D

I know what you mean about something falling off... I took the 'Cube for an Mot in January, it passes, then a week later I found an 18" length in the bottom of my wing that needed welding. No idea how that was missed by the MoT'er.

Mounted LED driving lights.
The LED lights increased the charging voltage by 0.3 V compared to using the headlights.

The LEDs also seem to scare away all other passengers on the ferry.
