Taxi Driver Online

So a bit of a change from the all serious topic being discussed elsewhere on this forum!!!

Im been driving the zafira for a week now and overall its a nice powerful car. Totally love the ride. And the power. A bit of a step up from my 1.0 Yaris.

A few observations ive had so far.

The clutch pedal has a bit of vibration. When the car is in neutral and I put my foot on the clutch pedal I feel a slight vibration.
A few fault lights have lit up since ive been driving. One is car with a spanner through it. I think it may be in connetion with the fault code i keep seeing when i turn the car off "INSP4". Water in filter apparently.
The car pulls to the left!

Going to the garage today for them to look at.

Going to source a spare wheel this weekend and then can book it in for an MOT, Inshallah. Fingers crossed!:)

Hope your supplier is having to to sort?

fault lights are the curse of modern cars

has it a service history, if so when was it last serviced?

a spanner indicates a service is due OR whoever did it last didnt reset it or know how

A back street garage won't have the tool to take the service light out.

Vauxhalls are renown for their dash lights coming on.

I had my own diagnostics for the Mondeo. £18

How to reset the service indicator.

Put your key in the ignition.
Depending on year of your car you may need to place your foot on the brake pedal.
With ignition turned off press and hold in the trip meter button.
Now turn the ignition on and wait for the display to change on the dash panel. This usually takes around 10 seconds.
Once the display changes release the trip meter button and take your foot off the brake pedal, switch off the ignition.
Your Service Indicator is now reset.

It won't work for you, You wouldn't be able to find the right direction for Mecca without your sat nav. You need to be a hackney driver to do it properly.

Grandad,

lol true. But I could always Mcgyver a makeshift compass with a needle, leaf and some water!!

Taking in the car today, so at least getting the tracking fixed.

Thanks for the the tip Wannabe but will let the dealer deal with dashboard light, just in case there any issues.

The vibration on the foot pedal is probably a sign telling you that the flywheel is wearing out! they rattle a bit when they wear sitting in neutral

Is this something that would fail in an MOT?

No not a standard car MOT.

But it is an expensive repair, your clutch will start to slip soon if not already??

Mind you it could just be the release bearing

Define clutch slip? The clutch is fine as far as I can tell.
