General Car Chat / Help on a Zafira A

« on: 04 November 2011, 19:23:50 »

Just got a really cheap Zafira A with some engine issues...not had a chance to get the "My Naff Code Reader" on it yet (the EML is on) but I noticed that it ran ok with just a slight mifire until heavier acceleration then the constant EML light flashes a few times before being constant again and the engine at that point runs like a pig. Is this the car going into safe mode?? or something else??

Cheers, Chris.

They are only about £100 new...due to their being a fair bit of work involved in changing them over I would recommend getting a new one...the second hand one could easily fail a few thousand miles later or even less and any cost saving getting a second hand one would be lost by doing the job again...

I guess that if you are doing the work yourself it may be worth a punt though...

you can send them for about £15 via www.senditnow.com etc...bonnet is under 30Kg and within size specifications...just a bit of a pain to wrap...unfortunately the one I had was sold a while ago...

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Wooly Speaker?

« on: 02 August 2011, 09:05:40 »

Chances are the speaker connector is earthing try some electrical tape on it to help with this if it is...

Removing the speaker cover will allow you to see if the speaker itself is damaged, if not then yes the door card is removable...various screws...three at the very bottom embedded a bit, 2 at the side of the door card, flip the lock pull out then there is a screw behind there, one or two behind the door handle etc...

Sometimes the EML light will flicker if the battery is running low and the car is struggling for power...probably nothing to worry about

Have you recharged the battery fully?

Surely if you have an elite, you have self levelling which is what is required to have HID's...so should be ok...

Also replacing your projectors with HID's is surely not replacing them with a kit...its a genuine Vaux item...

I have a pair of genuine HID's here if you are interested...aluminium adjusters in them so no chance of them breaking PM me if interested

You need to turn the radio off...put key to ignition position 2...then press the AS button and hold it down while turning on the radio...should then allow you to enter the code once the radio comes on...

Try pushing the right hand side of the display in...sometimes get slightly dislodged and so that side doesnt display...if not then chances are you need to remove the panel and replace the illumination bulbs in the back

38 mpg is achievable on the motorway with some 3.0 engines...35 easily...about 30 for mix...round town though expect a lot less
