my son rang me last Saturday morning to tell me he was buying a vehicle & I thought he said a zafira. so when he called to see me tonight driving a vivaro I was surprised. I need my ears testing. the dealer told him in a year to take it back for a service £99. also its done 74k & has a full service history but never had a cam belt change, so for another £210 the dealer said he would do it. me personally think the vendor knowing a belt was due should have done it.

I remember borrowing the company one a few years back. 3 miles up the road the gear stick went all loose and floppy. ::)
A couple of cable ties later all was well. Really cr@p arrangement of cables to operate the gearbox. If the rest of it is as poor.. ;D

Made thrown together in Luton to a French design with a gearbox designed and built by Cadburys :y
Fixed ;)

2.9T gross vehicle weight... clutch plate from a clit... yeahhh that'll be fine. It won't judder like frig everytime you try and pull away... will it? Ermm yes. Yes it will. >:(
Re : cables to gearbox.. in the order of £600 if memory serves. :o And that was 6yrs ago.
Concentric slave cylinder is shit as well.
And *when* not if the transmission fails make sure the spastic monkeys at the garage don't level fill the box. It's only supposed to have 2.6? ltrs in not 4+ where it spills out the filler. ::)
