2001 Holden Zafira review from Australia and New Zealand
"Love the car, but hate the surprises"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain snapped at 52400km, causing considerable damage to the valves and cylinder head.
General comments?
This seems to be a common problem with the Zafira, even the Vauxhall and Opel versions in other countries.
GM should look into this as it should last considerably longer.
