2000 Vauxhall Zafira Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant solution for the 4 child family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one real problem, a tendency to cut out on deceleration, particularly at roundabouts on main roads, the last one was a bit scary on a fast road, fully loaded and suddenly no real brake power.
Any way took it in for a service and got told that the throttle housing needed replacing and this would solve the problem for £288. Asked the dealer to complain to Vauxhall as it was a known problem that made the car dangerous.
End result problem appears to have been fixed for free by local dealer. Apparently Vauxhall will authorise the work on any car under three years old, with less than 60,000 miles on the clock.
The dealer also gave me a £25 discount on the price of the front brake pads that needed fitting.
General comments?
A brilliant solution for the 4 child family.
Spectacularly boring, but succeds to do most things well.
