2004 Opel Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"A car to be wary of - total failure with no warning"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Until recently, nothing.
On Fri 7th Dec - driving and the car stops - told by the Opel dealer where the car was also serviced on 31/7/07, that engine the had seized and needs replacing due to no oil at all.
No warning light to indicate oil problem, and also despite a complete service in July, the dealer says no responsibility lies with them re no oil in engine - apparently quite common to need to update the oil every 4 months!
General comments?
Grand car until the engine fails at 40000 miles.
Spacious interior; comfortable and flexible.
