Two things

1. Does anyone get fuel pickup problems, or fuel starvation problems with just over a quarter tank of fuel left? I think the fuel gauge was between a quarter and half a tank (or maybe just a bit less than that). I only noticed my car lag after taking a fairly big 220degree (estimated) hairpin and flooring it. About three or so times during two days when I changed to forth after coming out of the corner, and despite having foot to the floor the car just maintained speed for a second or two then suddenly shot forward. If not fuel related, any ideas on this? Maybe it was when my right foot was actually full on. Could there be something which could cause this when at FULL throttle?

2. I doubt anyone can help with this. Every time I came off track I noticed my "windscreen washer" light shining, but the tank is about 90% full. All the connections seem fine and it never comes on during road use.

Darren (rushing a bit but hopefully this is understandable)
