117k so far. AA recovered 5 times. 2 turbos.1 boost valve. 2 sets gear cables. Driveshaft. Catalyst. Master cylinder and slave cylinder. 2 pipes to gearbox. Back in at Dealers again, no clutch and low power from turbo. Don't even let someone give you a Vivaro for free!!!!!!!!!!- Read Guest's review (44 words)

I have been running a Vauxhall Vivaro swb 1.9CDTI since 2005 (54 plate), fitted with 6 speed manual gearbox. The gearbox has developed a serious oil leak which appears to be coming from the breather pipe mounted on top of the gearbox housing. In cold weather both reverse and second gears are difficult to select, but no problems in warm weather! Like many other reviews here, my van has done only light work and has just covered 40,000 miles. My local independent garage has recommended a reconditi ...- Read samuel97's review (110 words)

I thought my Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9DTi LWB was great,fitted new stereo to get bluetooth and speedo stopped,as it happens all systems are connected and getting it done was a nightmare,if i leave van unused for any more than 5-6 days then battery goes flat and now my alternator has melted,i thought i had an engine fire.not have this much longer.had 3 ldv convoys and thought they were bad,they are simple and basic and easy to fix.would not buy another vauxhall,not a quality product.- Read jimsvalet's review (91 words)

The Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9DTi LWB is a lovely motor just what i needed, looked great, drove like a dream. it broke down with in 12 hours of having it, i done 70 miles. the turbo went, been in the garage now 2 weeks, but now wont be ready for another week so 3 weeks in total. they had to replace the turbo, engine, gear box and more.
not happy....................

This is a poorly designed van as there are no armrests because of angle of door/window design, and instruments are blocked due to angle of steering with airbag, which means you cannot see the fuel low warning light.
When viewing rear of van through door mirrors the stupid curves of the van detract from judging parking distances. Washer bottle is hidden well below the offside wing which means you have to put water and screen wash into a 2ltr plastic drinks bottle.- Read Guest's review (116 words)

My Vauxhall Vivaro has been the most unreliable van I have ever had.

This is what he found all of the injectors where broke, at which point he told me about one of the common faults number 1 injector welds itself to the cylinder head. Got a phone call of him day after he couldnt get the ...- Read lefty1969's review (256 words)

If you need a van buy a transit trust me. Van is 3 years old this month and has had 2 new gear boxes and is in garage just now getting its 2nd clutch, its only done 42000 miles! 2nd gear box took 8 weeks to fit and nearly put me out off business, The van has never done any heavy work and has spent more time in the Vauxhall garage than my own!- Read rybell4's review (73 words)

A badly built vehicle that should never have been put on the road, also the vauxhall movano has a gearbox differential fault, unacceptable to try and sell these as a reliable vehicle for someone self employed.- Read Guest's review (72 words)

Beware, do no assume that because youve had it for one year or so everything is rosy, just wait and see, and keep your bank balance topped up, Renault, Vauxhall know theres a fault, but obviously wont admit it, save your money buy a reliable van buy a Transit, its where I'm going next.- Read Guest's review (109 words)

Great Vans, much better to drive than an a Transit, you dont feel like you've stepped back into the early 80's when you get in the Vivaro, unlike a Transit!. The gearbox & clutch in my vivaro lasted 142,000 miles!, and its never missed a beat before hand.
A brand new uprated gear box/clutch/slave cylinder & release bearing is £2,205 fully fitted by a main dealer.- Read Guest's review (64 words)

I've been told that new gear boxes have weak bearings if a recon unit had been fitted this would not have happened a problem that Vauxhall, Renault and Nissan won't admit to it.- Read madspark01's review (79 words)
