Hi All,

My sister has a 2005 2.0T (petrol) Zafira and from what I can tell the turbo seals may have gone. Can anyone in the area recommend a local Vauxhall specialist?

Thanks

Sorry I can't be specific, but one would have thought there are some up the road in Luton as that's where the main plant is (was).

Failing that I've heard good things about Panautos in Southdown. http://www.panautos.co.uk/

ps., Hi from Harpenden byebye

pan autos can be quite expensive

Theres a couple of garages on the southdown industrial estate that are meant to be quite good
Always take my cars to St Albans Car Clinic now

Ok, quick update! It failed the MoT on the emissions (lots of blue smoke). Dealer says big engine job or replacement engine! Still waiting to hear so may need your contacts.... frown

From experience (and inside knowledge) I would say the complete opposite.

Try Kieron at Harpenden Classic and Sports on the Southdown Industrial Estate or Steve John Gordon Motors in St Albans.

wavey to all Harpendenites!

I'm in Harpenden too. Hello fellow Harpendeners! There is of course Autobodies in Luton but I can't really think of much good to say about them. When I had my Monaro I made the trip to Monkfish near MK. There are a few places in Southdown industrial estate like others have said, I've got no personally experience of them though.
