Hi My partner has an 09 Zafira 1.6 and has suffered a problem with it that keeps coming back. When driving along it will "kick" a little bit as if you had tapped the gas pedal on and off; it was doing it quite bad today. It was checked by a local VX dealer who done some trickery with the wiring...

Hey there, I've just returned from a five week trip to start my car (2002 plate Vectra 1.8 LS) and have found that upon startup the rev counter hunts up to 1500 and then drops to idle at between 750-1000. If I put my foot on the accelerator and rev it above 2000rpm upon returning to the idle...
