Default Fuel Serge

When opening her up everything is fine. Go round the roundabout at pace, but upon exit (i.e. flicking it the other way) it hesitates like there is no fuel.

This only happens when there is about 1/4 tank or less. Any ideas why it should do this?

Yes it is only hard right turns. Maybe its a special feature of the Monte.

I have the same. Mine is not Monte but small turbo, and it's supposed to be the fault of a aftermarket fuel pump.

I still have to improve low fuel level performance, but it's quite a comon problem with heavily tuned cars. My friends Scooby (about 420bhp on Elf turbo-boost fuel) stars to choke and cut of when fuel is below 1/3 :-(
