My zafira started firing on only three cylinders yesterday and the emissions light came on. I took it to a small independent garage this morning and he had a quick look. The plugs were knackered.
The car has done 28000 miles and has three stamps in the service book. One at 8000, one at 15000 and one, just before I bought it (from EH) at 21000. All of these done by EH. The plugs have, obviously, never been changed.
So much for 'Main dealer service history'.

I have left it with him to do a full service. No doubt this will knock a few bob off the price when I trade it because it won't be a vauxhall stamp.

have you looked up the recommended service interval for a plug change ??

[Jimbob]

may well be a 40k interval plug  :-/


If you werent so Lazy and did your own servicing, you would know it was right

The pedal trick used to work on SWMBO's 52 plate 1600 Astra. If plugs I'd have expected 0300/0301/0302/0303/0304  :-/

I used to work for them in the west midlands. they were poo there too. They would stamp the service book and only change the oil and do a Used Pre delivery inspection regardless of what else was needed. Pre delivery inspection was fairly intense but if something could last just over the standard 3 month warranty period then that was good enough. i always played my face as i was the one selling them!!! had enough in the end.
