June 15Jun 15 Hello all, 63 yo truck driver, angler and newbie to Merivas, which I realky like for their practicality, flexibility and comfort. Recently bought my first one, a 2010 1.4t petrol which blew the head gasket within a month due to failure of a plastic pipe in a valve forming part of the cooling system. Too expensive to repair, so have now bought another meriva, with a full dealer history on it, and hoping to have more luck this time around! So far so good, we shall see. 😁
June 15Jun 15 Welcome to the club. Hope you have a lot more fun in this Meriva than your last one. Always nice to welcome in new members. Andy
June 15Jun 15 Author Cheers Andy, just dropped the new one off at Vauxhall in Bristol for a thorough check over, don't want another blown hose and consequent boil over and head skim/head gasket with all that entails! Seems a very common issue on the petrol engines, but too many LEZ areas now for a diesel really ....
