Lots of faults with the latest shape Meriva, Vauxhall dealers seem happy enough to replace most things FOC within the 3 year warranty.
The only thing they appear to quibble about is the head gasket in the 1.4 turbos which can go, same problem in the astra and zafira tourers with this engine.
Its a real shame as it gives lots of power and decent fuel economy.
The meriva also seems prone to both water and coolant leaks, not sure if its a design issue, parts quality issue or poor fitting in the factory but the meriva forum has a fair few posts from owners with leaks.
