Afternoon I've recently purchased a 2016 Zafira Tourer Elite 1.6 Ecoflex S/S which as I understand it has a timing chain instead of a belt. I'm struggling to find out if and when the chain and tensioners etc should be replaced. I'd be grateful if someone could tell me if it should be changed...

Hi all, I recently bought a 2016 Astra GTC, and have been experiencing chain rattle when I start it up from completely cold (and may sometimes do it when it has lost some temperature from being warm). It also likes to run a bit rough too until it has warmed up a bit. I had it in the workshop of...

Hi all Could use a little advise with a P0017 code on a Corsa D 2011 petrol 1.4. MIL light came on and the engine started idling really rough & exhaust sounding raspy when giving it some revs. Computer reads P0017 code which I believe to be camshaft sensor bank 1 sensor B. I understand this...

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been asked before, but can i drop an SRI 2.2 engine in to my 2.2 Zafira? My timing chain went on my 2004 Zafira, so I'm trying to get a replacement engine. found an SRI engine with same code (Z22SE), but was wondering if there was any difference. Any help would be...

I got my Corsa new from Hull in January 2012 and the car has been serviced each year to keep within my warranty Ts & Cs. 65,000 miles on the clock currently. Have had spark plug issues twice previously and broke down last week, with the recovery guy telling me it looked like the coil pack...

So I have an astra 2.2 running z22se, my old vectra snapped and I don't want it happening to this car, but I hear it developing. I'm going to buy a timing chain kit, is there anything else I should be getting swapped while that's off? I'm hearing about a balancer chain kit, but I don't even...
