Vauxhall Has Paid £35 Towards The Cost Of The K-Lok

I have posted somewhere here before, so this is an update!

If you haven't lost you wheel, then phone Vauxhall NOW and ask them for a job code for your local dealer to fit a lock. The Vauxhall one is £35 inc. fitting (which Vauxhall WILL fit FOC if you have a job code from their head office.

However, if you think that the nylon material it is made from it too flimsy, with a little negotiation, you can persuade them to reimburse £35 when you but a K-LOK 19 from Osprey Products (£37.50 delivered). This will mean having to fit it yourself, which I did in about 20 minutes.

he problem with either of these devices is that, should you get a puncture, you will have to unload the boot to raise the rear seat so that you can undo the bolt so that you can get the spare wheel out. I have the K-LOK, have fitted it myself and had a cheque for £35 from Vauxhall.
My Uncle has had the Vauxhall one fitted FOC as part of his 20,000 mile service.

The Zafira is a good all round family car

Based on the Vauxhall Astra chassis, there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, such as the general driving ride and the quality of the car as a whole.

There have been a few problems that general users have seen with the cars, such as:

• The engine cutting out when idle.
• The In car radio not functioning correctly.
• A squeaking noise from the brakes after only 10,000 miles or so use.
• Spare wheel thefts.
• A necessity to keep refilling the oil on diesel models (1 litre every thousand miles or so).
• Small storage space.
• Strange engine noises which can not be located or fixed.

Saying this, however. The car is very practical and does have some very good points. The innovative ?Flex 7? seating system makes it very easy to switch the car from 5 to 7 seats without too much hassle.

Other nice features include easy access to the car thanks to the wide opening doors, ideal for families with small children, and an anti-stall device. Designed to stop the car from stalling a low revs.

The car is generally very good and although a minority of owners have had some problems, it represents extremley good value for money and provides a great means of getting the whole family from one place to another.
