Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. The car was never delivered on time as planned as it broke down, requiring new EGR valve to be fitted. Subsequently broke down (well, limp home mode) on four more occasions over the next couple of months. In and out of Vauxhall garage who could rarely find an actual fault. Fuel Economy nothing like it should be (yes I know it never is), struggled to get 400 miles on a tank of mixed motorway and urban driving. MAde the sensible choice and got rid of it to get a VW Touran 2.0 TDI SE, no problems and getting the expected 45-50 MPG. Do not buy a Diesel Zafira, especially models fitted the EGR !
What's most practical about your car?
