The Meriva ran across two distinct generations: the original A-generation from 2003 to 2010, and the B-generation from 2010 onwards. A bulkhead from one generation will not cross to the other, as the platforms and body structures are completely different. Always source your bulkhead from within the correct generation for your car.
No — the A and B generations are entirely different platforms with different body shells, so the bulkheads are not interchangeable. This is the key boundary to be aware of when sourcing a used bulkhead from a breaker. Always confirm your generation before requesting a quote.
The Meriva B received a facelift in 2014, and while the generation boundary is well established, whether the bulkhead pressing changed between the pre- and post-facelift cars is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. The structural shell is broadly the same B-generation platform, but mid-generation pressing changes are possible and we cannot state fitment as fact here.
Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Meriva — the structure of the body shell is the same regardless of whether the car is badged Expression, SE, Active, or any other grade. The main thing to confirm is the correct generation (A or B). You may find minor cosmetic or finish differences on panels sourced from different trim grades, but these do not affect whether the part will fit.
This question spans the A-to-B generation change, which occurred in 2010, so a 2009 car is an A-generation Meriva and a 2011 car is a B-generation — and the bulkheads are not interchangeable between them. Always check which generation your car belongs to before sourcing a bulkhead from a breaker, as the platforms are completely different.
No — engine choice has no bearing on bulkhead fitment for the Meriva. What matters is that the donor car is the same generation (A or B) as yours. Confirm the generation match with your breaker and you can disregard engine size entirely when assessing whether a used bulkhead will fit.
