    the cam belt cost £60 odd as is best mate is a mechanic so fitted it free gratis, and in all honesty is only selling it to me at this price as he knows i need a car, and i have not got loads of money to play with, and he just wants rid, he knows if he kept hold of it he would probably get alot more for it if he advertised it, but he is just being a mate, and now i feel like i am going to be taking advantage of him, if it is ok and i buy it:o:D

    Good luck with it - i hope it works out.

    If its a good car, and you're happy with it and hes happy with the price then its a win win all round.

    Must be a 1.9 if it has a cambelt

    edit, that's the Zafira B engine thinking about it.

    They didn't make a ZAfira A diesel engine with a cam belt. The 2 litre had a chain.

    they dont do a 2.5 zafira.

    My money is on it being a 2.5 FRONTERA which they also did with a 7 seater LWB option.

    If it is a frontera i wouldn't touch it with a very big stick.

    The largest capacity Zafira is the 2.2 litre petrol.

  • Could it be a sintra then?

    and the reason why it was so cheap was because he brought it at auction, the guy who had it before owed £500 on it, and could not afford to pay it, so the finance company took it back off him and sold it at auction, only really wanting the £500 owed on it, so my mate snapped it up, he also says he was there last week when a 52 plate diesel with only 32,000 on the clock went through at just under a grand, wish i was there because i would have snapped that one up

    I don't hold out much hope for it having been serviced and repaired properly in the past, unfortunately.

    That's a thought. They do look similar at a distance.
