Hi guys,
thought i would try and help with my experiences on two of these engines, I do not claim to be an expert but here is what i did to cure both of them with the same faults you are describing,both of these were diesel vectra so it may be differnt on a Zafira but i cant see why?and yes i had changed the leak off pipes, its the first thing i do on any diesel with starting problems
I went to PEUGOT DEALER (sorry) and bought a 406hdi striaght ended
prime pump,(£17) this is basically a rubber bulb that you squeeze to suck diesel up from the tank to prime the injector pump, but the important thing is it has a oneway valve in it,
I then cut the main fuel supply line and inserted the primepump into the circuit,using small jubilee clips to clamp it , squeeze the pump till it goes hard and turn key car starts first time every time and more importantly as it has a one way valve the fuel cannot return or drain back to the tank so the injector pump is always ful of fuel, if the car doesent start at anytime its a simple matter to open bonnet and swueeze the primepump a couple of times to get fuel up to the injector pump
hope it helps at least some of you
