Looks great, my old 94 PFL (now dead
 ) was that colour. Loved it.  |

I had a tiny hole in base of rad it took a long time to detect.

I'm with Terry on this . . . thinking that you probably have a small leak. The problem is a very small leak will evaporate & you won't see a visible leak or pool on the ground.
Black plastic sides & top of the rad are a common place & often hidden from view . Small HBV leak is another. Coolant bridge another possibility. I had a very small leak for a long time & just could not find it, although could often smell the leaking coolant aroma when hot. Eventually on a very cold day after a decent run when the car had reached full temp, after been parked up for 5 or so minutes , I lifted the bonnet to see a very small column of steam rising from the passenger side of the rad . This leak & resulting fine crack in the rad plastic was only visible once rad was removed . The top passenger side corner of the rad is a very common place to crack as plastic becomes very brittle with age IMO. Removing the 3 black plastic cover panels across the front of the rad area may help in visibly seeing it though A coolant system pressure test would probably confirm you have an issue . Others will advise on this as never done one myself. HTH |

I must admit, the anti corrosion used on the Zaffy-A seems so much better than that on a similar aged Omega. You don't see many rusty ones.yes , I was surprised how rust free the zafira was for a 15 year old car also , disappointed with the p155 poor job opel did at rust proofing my newer omega i'm improving on the rust proofing on the omega i will wax oil the chasis legs,cills etc on the zafira too that intake clog you had was shocking  the zafira has done over 300 mlles so far without issue  |
