Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hi, in the last few days we have noticed petrol fumes in our 2006 Zafira when driving. Any help as to what it may be ? Where do I start checking ?

If you don't know where to check,you shouldn't even try. Get it checked by someone. The fumes could impair your driving, or worse.
Could be a leaking fuel tank, line or injectors.
Are you getting headaches?

There can be some reasons. One, oddly enough is the fuel filler cap itself stops sealing properly. The other is on an Astra (identical undee the bonnet) the fuel pipe running along the front of the engine. They can perish a bit and leak slightly. As above though, where petrol vapours are concerned, its a problem best addressed immediately.
