another vauxhall help please

[SoundillusioN]

My advice is to not waste any more time thinking about it and just drain the entire system and fill it back up with fresh water and antifreeze, it's easy enough.  

It's a Vauxhall, nothing is easy   Seriously, you've got to get the alternator out of a Zafira from underneath which costs a lot in labor  

Yeah but it's bubbly coolant, working with water can't be much harder on a Vauxhall than any other car.

Either that or a headgasket mate. Or crack somewhere.

Get it sniff tested.

Not always. As I said a sniffer test will confirm if there is engine fumes in there. It looks like it to me.
