Have you had the engine compression tested, zafira's are known for loosing compression. my car was doing bthe same and it ended up being a loss compression in the number one valve and it can cost you a bit so get it tested. Its a simple test and it will stop you chasing faults.
P.S I had to have my engine taken apart because i waited too long to have the job done, find a good garage and get it done do not go direct to vauxhall try a small garage first.
