Bloody Zafira is costing a fortune

4 replies

Hey everyone!

I have a 07 Zafira SRi and it is costing me a bloody fortune! Back in October it cost me nearly £800 for a new camshaft, then £90 for 2 front tyres now the central locking has gone and it's going to cost me £450. I also know the front brake pads need replacing and my rear shock absorber needs changing to. It's just worth letting it go. After I've paid all that I've basically paid half of what I bought the blimmin thing for!

Are you thinking of chopping it in? Do you need something as big as that?

All cars need tyres and brakes. £90 for two tyres is bloody cheap - are they nasty Chinese ditchfinders?

Bloody cheap tyres.

As above all cars need tyres / break pads etc. So not really an issue

The other couple of Jobs I'd get done. We have an 07 zaffy and not had any real issues bearing in mind it’s a 10 year old car.

Yes not too worried about tyres and brakes as I know they always need doing. Just seems like everything in my car is breaking at the moment 😞 just paid out £400 to fix the central locking today. Hoping now that nothing else goes wrong as like I said the car has cost me nearly £1500 to fix in the last 4 months
