Sadly, there is no coolant temeprature sensor on the triplets. Yet, it's quite easy to fit one. I made a how-to

I made a video showing how to replace the oil in the automatic gearbox. The manual relates directly to Vaxhall but as I know the same box is fitted to C5, Peugeot 407. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVG3vIJ9TBQ

I decided to stick to the Zafira as it is reliable. Have owned it for 5 years and the alternator was the only thing that went. YEah, i still do like C5 tourer and each time I see one I take a closer look at it.

All the media along with the BBC and SKnews cover the issue of Zafiras B catching fires. 130 fires so far hmmm...I own a Zafira...... Should i be worried?

Now, browsing some C5 offers, ive noticed the front seats are different since 2009, in fact looking worse in the sense of holding capabilities. So they changed them in the lifted editon? http://images63.fotosik.pl/357/442103205615cca1m.jpg http://images63.fotosik.pl/357/388331896c2111efm.jpg What are changes were introduced?

thanks guys for all replies, hope you don't find me a pain in the a.... :) and can we regulate the height of the car on MK3 just as it's possible on MK1 and 2? Is there a button/switch for this?

and besides the greasing that Roger mentioned, does the hydraulic suspension need any maintainance over some longer course of time? Do we replace anything at some intervals? Is the hydraulic pump and the high pressure hoses reliable? Can we just drive a C5 for say 10 years with no need to worry about it? I guess there are no shock absorbers to be changed, no springs.....and does that mean that the hydraulic suspension is in fact cheaper to maintain?

Thanks, coasline taxis 1. What's wrong with the windows? The motors go? 2. Fuse box? The fuses keep blowing? Water leaks? 3. So hydraulic suspensions should be avoided? 4. Which engine do you have on your C5?

1. what exactly is needed to be greased? Hard job to do? What if this isn't done? 2. So the 16 valve 2.0 HDI has no known issues? 3. What about the automatic gearbox on MK3? Recommended? Faulty?

Here in Poland 99.99% car owners put on winter tyres in Novemeber and have them on until May. I do recommend have a set of winter tyres and not necessarily the top makes as they are tiwce or three times more expensive. One day guys from the vauxhall forum asked me to make a video of my winters tyres on the Zafira. This a Polish producer, Debica, and thet are great in the snow. There is actually hardly any snow it wouldn't go through. In this video I am not even riding the bus on the road, but on my plot of land, meaning there is grass underneath and the land is not flat.

Hi again. I have been looking at MK3 tourer as it looks superb to me. Currently i own a diesel, Zafira 1.9 cdti and had absolutly no issues with the motor apart from the ECU being faulty as a result of the DPF removal. Now, I guess the HDI is equally reliable as the cdti which in fact is the Fiat's jtd, but i thought perhaps a petrol engine would be worth considering. Anyway, from what i've read, you guys recommend the 2.0 hdi if i went for a diesel. And what the petrol eninges? Now the questions 1. Is the 2.0 HDI diesel on MK3 the same I had on a 2003 plate Mk1? Or perhaps they've upgraded it with some troublesome innovations? 2. Is there a choice on the suspension? Are all fitted with the hydroactive one? I would rather get a regular suspension 3. Are there any common or well-know issues with the MK3? Rust? Wiring trouble? Suspension? Steering? Water leakages? Oils leakeges? Electronic modules faults? 4. If I went for a pertol engine, would that be 1.8 or 2.0? Are these perhaps in fact the same engines or completaly different? Which is more reliable? Which perhpas is issue-free?

Hi guys, My name's Pawel and i am based in Cracow, Poland. I used to own a C5 on a 2003 plate and then got myslef a Zafira 1.9 cdti. I just wanted to get some info about the 2008 C5 as I love its look.
