Could be clutch fault ?

If the clutch pedal is weak and finally when it does select first gear then if it doesnt pick up speed and the revs go high then it shows that clutch is faulty. if that seems ok then change your gear box oil it should solve it. because i myself also have a zafira but ive got the gear box oil changed and it s fine. hope for the best.

before you have any of the suggestion mentioned ie the other posts have the selector box checked as these are common to wear out and cause problems getting gears like you are having hope this helps have this checked out first just to save you pennies
