Meriva Turbo owner

[northernsean]

HI , just recently upgraded from a '53 plate 1.2 Agila to a '61 plate 1.4 Turbo Meriva .  I'm still finding my way round the workings of the car , the "clutch down to start " and the electronic handbrake are new to me  . It's nippy enough and the spec ( Excite ) has some decent features - time will tell as to wether i'm going to love it or not .

I'm from South Shields , just outside of Newcastle , am 52 and have had stacks of Vauxhalls over the course of my  my driving life .

Hi northernsean

Hope all goes well for you with the Agila....some of the new developments take a bit of getting used to but I always start with my foot on the clutch (and always leave in gear as I don't trust handbrakes) as a precautionary procedure.

What other Vauxhalls have you had in the past?

Good to have you onboard,  Cheers . Trevor

Well i've had this Meriva for 3 bloody days and the petrol flap cover won't unlock , it didn't unlock when i first bought it and all of a sudden today  it decided to work ...... for all of a half hour , now it won't unlock :(  i'm assuming it's the central locking solenoid thingy in the boot - i'm going to have a look see and try and access it - updates to follow  LOL

I've had several Vauxhalls in the past Trevor , 2 Astra GTE's , a Vectra and many, many Cavaliers back in the day...... ( happier days i might add )

The old Vauxhalls were definitely the best in my opinion....they seemed to go on forever, until the rust got the better of them

Good luck with the Filler flap....probably just the solenoid...worth checking the electrical connections to it as may have gathered corrosion over time
