2002 Zafira 1.6 petrol, manual
MOT Jan 2016
Taxed to get you home*
123,000 miles
Seven seater, rear seats fold down flat....
Good tyres.
Starts first time and was in daily use.
Only have green slip of V5 but note I will apply for the log book for you.
Needs a really good clean inside and out.
Sold as spares or repairs.

*The EML is on and it smokes, possibly EGR valve but just assume the rings are fucked, or something 

There's a pretty horrible grinding noise from the n/s/r wheel, probably brakes stuck or fucked or something. Any other problems you find (including catching malaria from the interior) are ex gratis.
£200.
Chester.

How do you manage to continue making your vehicles sound so appealing and useful, taking the stress out of purchasing in today's madcap world?  Cavcraft are brilliant, don't let the lawyers tell you otherwise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please remember to pay for my testimonial with money this time, turns out the Co-op don't accept pictures of Barbara Cartland and shiny pebbles as currency.

Lump it on gumtree Billy.

 

No doubt some fat, diabetic, COPD, KFC eating mouthbreather ( who despite all these ailments can still procreate) will buy it purely to transport his brood as well as proving that there is lead in the old pencil.

 

Indeed, I would consider it myself, except I have a cancer causing diesel focus.

Fat - check

 

Diabetic - not yet

 

COPD - nope

 

KFC - sometimes but not for an awfully, awfully long time

 

Mouthbreather - only when my nose is blocked

 

 

Is it auto?

Aforementioned mouth breather would demand a years free warranty and fuel for 200 quid . Good luck Mr Cav

In America you would have your own set of infomercials and run 2 day workshops on how to become a winnah at life... Including a free corsa...

Nothing to be ashamed of. Well regarding Zafira ownership at least.

 

Billy has found some other victim I mean customer.

More to the point I can't see how Billy makes any profit out of these crates? A magician in the art of used car sales.

GLWS.  If you can't shift it, let me know as it has all the parts to fix my wife's.

Zafira's R 4 WINNAZ.

 

They take a shit load weight, and are never refused from the tip! Obviously real men have two pedal base models full of turf.

In the interest of the person pictured he didn't buy the car.

Also it actually smoked a lot worse than this. I topped the oil and water up and that was the outcome!

Posted

It made it Tamworth Ok! I would have been a bit worried if I had seen that pic but it sounded fine when it turned up. It was dark so couldn't see the smoke.

I wondered why it went dark early in Cannock.

That's creative selling giving away techniques. He's a slippery fish that Cavcraft bloke :)

Has somebody fitted a VW TDi? 

 

 

Nah, it wanted to be a VW when it was growing up. Looks like it got there in the end :)

 

An excellent offer and a great cause. Well done to all concerned. 

Posted

Yes - a wonderful gesture Billy.

 

Billy for next Labour Leader.

Yep, it's me.. although I only delivered it.

 

It was on 2 cylinders most of the way to Tamworth, top speed 50 ish, although when it occasionally ran on 3 cyl I got a decent speed out of it. Anything over 60 and the smell of petrol and hot oil was overpowering. 

 

I may have got it to 100 on a downhill dual carriageway section of the A5, and this may have resulted in a few of the cars I overtook do perform emergency stops because of the red arrows style trail of acrid smoke spewing out of the exhaust. 

 

The engine is fooked, although it starts OK. I think maybe piston rings?

 

For the record, Zafiras drive pretty nicely!

Trust me, it's kippered.

Rings is a common ailment on the 1.6.

 

Surprised nobody has dropped in a V6 from a vectra.

I was thinking though.. I bet if you cleaned the plugs up it would run OK till they fouled again...

The suspension seemed ok as you took off over the speed bumps, the glascote heath oval has seen many cars at speed but not many zafiras I bet! Thanks again mate and don't forget to pm me your address and I will get those seat belts up to you.
