Hmmmm.....the video was a bit disappointing, no smoke or flames or anything 

[Marks DTM Calib]

No, more likely a loom fault I would say.

[KSR]

The heater fan components and wiring are dog shit on those.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The Zafira seems to be a car which is hard to really love........think white goods.

Perhaps some owners are being a bit clumsy with a box of matches and a gallon of unleaded.

I quite liked mine but, then again, I'm only used to driving shite. 

Ohhh......an omega, an omega, my kingdom for an omega.

I wonder if I should comment?

Yes, join in. Two experts on driving shite.

Oh...and by the way, watchdog will be putting their tuppence worth in on BBC1 tonight.

[SMD]

Luckily mine is off the road   

Mine vibrates (or did it squeak?) from the dash over certain types of roads. Can't remember now as its been a very long time since I last drove it

[Varche]

I thought power sounder!

And the heater fan components and resister were mentioned as a possible fault as someone said . Blocked pollen filter was mentioned too   

[Marks DTM Calib]

I bet its the heater resistor, what will be interesting is if the ones going to smoke are genuine ones or the real cheap nasty tat that you buy on ebay.

Climate control is the answer! 

I was actually thinking about my Zafira this morning and to be honest, its a bloody good car, pretty well built, reliable, economical, pretty comfortable, enough room.

[EMD]

That will now lower the used values so will be looking around for one . Guess the dash has to come out to check/replace the resistor 

[zirk]

VX claiming its down to non GM replacement parts are causing the issue.
