if a cv boot is split, get them to check to cv joint. would be worth checking as many potholes causing these types of problems.

i have a meriva (05 plate), whilst driving in 4th or 5th gear and the revs pass through 1200 to 1500, there is some kind of wattery, gargling,rattling noise coming from outside the car. I've had it in twice at a vauxhall dealer who say they can't find anything? But this happens every single time? Please can anyone help?

Hi, I had a similar problem. It's the bolt on the steering column joint under the dash. Take off the plastic shroud under dash, tighten the bolt, reassemble. Voila! It worked for me, and costs half an hour of your time. Hope it helps.
