I've noticed the long warm up time on my Zafira 2.0DTi compared with the old Rover 216 I owned before. I would say it takes at least twice the time but could it not be because of improved efficiency ie. less waste heat?
The oil comsumption is a worry also, I thought the 1 litre per 1000 miles would improve after a couple of thousand miles but after 6000 it hasn't.
My rear brakes still often groan at low speed, is this the brake dragging problem? The dealer hasn't fixed it yet.
I have had the wipers adjusted at the dealers but to no effect. This is obviously the old Right Hand Drive Vs Left Hand Drive problem that we used to see on British Leyland cars (made in UK, designed for europe). I think I will get the wiper arms in a vice shortly to sort it!
I wish I had read all these comments BEFORE I bought the thing!
My motor is badged as an OPEL which means the dealers will only give me 1 years warranty!
