Meriva Design 2006-
Happened first time in Jan 2009 worked intermittently then stopped altogether. Main dealer had car for a week trying to find fault that meant stripping out dashboard etc. Eventually returned working with the story that the control unit which amongst other things controlled the internal fan and air conditioning had failed and had been replaced.Because of the low mileage of the car and the fact that Vauxhall told the dealer that this part should "never fail" the £670 bill was stood by Vauxhall & the dealer.
In November 2009 it started playing up again and twice it has been booked in for attention but it behaved itself in the workshop!!
The car has now become virtually useless and with the very cold weather rarely works hence no heat and no visibility!! When the fan dosen't work neither do the lights on the air con and recirculation buttons.
I found it hard to believe that £670 was written off the first time around (sounds like incompetence somewhere down the line) and that the part that "never fails" is playing up again.
Anyone any knowledge of this problem and any pointers that may help before I let the dealer loose on it again as I can't really see my wife getting a zero bill again!!
