Hi Welcome to the club!
I've had a ZT-T Diesel for 3 and half years and just got round to sorting the problems that have occured in that time. Don't be scared by this list as most are easily fixed and instructions can be found here on the forum on how to fix them.

1) The main things to watch for on the diesel are the
MAF Sensor...the engine will be lathagic on acceleration if this on it way out,
Intercooler 'O'-rings failure....characterised by 'oil'-like sludge in the NSF corner of engine bay.
The thermostat can fail open meaning the cabin can take some time to get up to temperature.
The slow speed brushes on the raditator fan for the AC can wear out causing a "whale call" sound from the compressor, this can be checked by switching on the AC and the raditor fan should switch on at low speed immediately.
The plenum (cavity below the windscreen) drains can get blocked with leaf debris and should be cleared ASAP to prevent flooding of the ECU.

2) All Tourer tailgates open fully, as does the glass screen you mention.

Others on here can possibly add to this.
