Is a Vivaro a 'real' Vx/Opel or a Renault built under license? :-\

Plumber mate of mine drives one (1.6 BiTurbo?)  Very nice, and has had no problems.  Looks great in Metallic Black.

I've had no problems with my 63plate Transit either (109,000) except it's shit.  ;D  (Mine is Povvo spec though)

Vauxhall / Renault know there is a inherent fault with the Vivaro / Trafic. The ECU faults (or check injection system) has it reports is a known fault. We have a fleet of 38 of the damn things and one by one they go and Vauxhall don't seem to be able to repair them and at circa £24,000(guess there are cheaper alternatives) it is a pretty poor show
