Vauxhall
Diesel pump and Particulate filte

Vauxhall Zaphira redg 15/12 my car has now been off the road for 7 weeks awaiting parts from Vauxhall Germany apparently. The car broke down and was towed to Victoria Garage in Leigh Lanc's. I bought this vehicle from HPL Motors Bolton Road Atherton it's a 56 redg top of the range diesel 1.9 car, there is only 40000 miles on the clock I bought it to travel to appointments at Wythenshaw cancer hospital were I have to go for treatment for Lung cancer I wanted a good reliable car for the journey. I have had diesel cars for quite a few years now and have never had problems some of the cars were up to 150k miles. Victoria garage phoned me to say that the diesel pump had gone and would cost about £800 this was a shock as the car was only just out of warranty, not as much of a shock as when they phoned back a couple of days later to say they had done further diagnosis and found that the Particulate filter needed to be replaced also and the job would now cost in the region of £1900 this seems very expensive for a car of it's age and condition. On top of this they tell me they have to get the parts from Germany and I would have to wait 8 weeks for there delivery. Has anyone got any help or advice about these problems Has Vauxhall had a bad batch of parts Any Ideas
