yeah mine sounds abit like that.

it's 1998 1.4, and no i didn't put diesel in it
I replaced the plugs yesterday and it started alot sharper, i could put it in reverse and 1st gear and move a little, but it died out if i went any further than that.
I have a friend who tells me theres a high chance it will be one of the sensors has gone. I'm gonna buy a haynes manual and have a look at replacing all the sensors, shouldn't cost too much from scrappy. I look into coil pack too cheers

i have left my lights on (like not headlights but like interior lights) all night and the battery was good! a little sluggish but it started!

[wolfsburg]

i left my sidelights on for about an hour/hour and a half until someone came into the shop and was like 'yeah your lights are on'

That's Vauxhalls for ya... My mum's 57-plate Zafira SRi has had an endless string of faults, from vibrating steering wheels to even the boot opening at completely random times by itself!

Luckily, nothing's gone wrong with my dad's new Vectra! (yet)

haha wait til (and if) he has to do an emergency stop... they snake like **** with the **** abs

this has happened to me many times most of the time its because of the damp and so fuel isnt pumped properly which causes fuel starvation.

I replaced the fuel pump the other day and it still didn't work!
So i gave up and took it to the garage, they seem to think it'll be the head gasket but i wont find out until friday Looking at atleast 200-300 quid they said.
