Hi all,

As this section is probably the closest to the meriva i will start looking in here (Y)

or do you think i should sign up to corsa website lololol

does anyone know if the meriva shares any parts with the zafira?

 

[Dixy VXD]

hi matey, gosh i couldnt tell ya (Y)pal sorry

 

[HERC]

I thought the Mariva was based on the MK4 astra :sus:

 

[DGP]

I used to have a corsa c mate and that shared a lot of parts with meriva...

porbs no help to u but a pointless fact never the less:lol:

 

[Parksey SRI]

^^ im not sure tbh, i think its the corsa D chassis with astra parts :sus:

i think its a jumble sale of parts lol

designers at head office "now which parts shall we use" .... "i know boss, we'll put in a hat and see what comes out" lol

 

[DGP]

whats your plans for it anyway?

 

[Parksey SRI]

ill probs spray the wheels black or gunmetalish to match the smoked rear lights, debadge every badge as i like the smooth look... then add smoked repeaters and beef it up with audio (maybe irmy kit)..... it has 17cm speakers all round which is good for standard, so if i build on that ill have a bass wagon lol

 

[DGP]

niiice lol, defo get a kit on it, near me there is a silver meriva with snowflakes and xp kit and tints, looks class!

 

[Parksey SRI]

sounds like the vxr doesn't it

mint car the vxr is, would love one of those, but went for low maintenance (smaller wheels and cc ect)

snap me a pic if you ever get the chance (Y)

Meriva is Corsa derived, don`t think there are many zaf bits on it, nice cars though, theres a silver design stays near me, star silver looks brighter on the meriva for some reason ...

 

[Scrooge]

the merriva A is based on the corsa c and shares many of the parts and problems such as crap steering racks and CV boots and faulty indicators LIMO!!!

They do look funcky, and the VXR is a pocket rocket. http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4111

Yh would love a vxr version, may change it to that if i still need the space in couple of years

The Meriva is to the Corsa what the Zafira is to the Astra!

Little in common other than a few engines/gearboxes/ stereos etc......

Still pretty well built and reliable

In defence of the Meriva my wife has a 2005 1.4 breeze and has had very little trouble with it, the cv boots were replaced and we did have some serious clutch judder with VX fitting a new clutch under warranty.
Its not a bad run about and used as a ‘young family’ vehicle I think it has quite a few plus points (not that we used it as that).

oh! and if anyone is looking for the VXR version Thurlby have one at £9995
