In most cases, a code 24 fault on a Vauxhall Meriva 12 plate (assuming it's related to the rear number plate light) should not prevent the car from starting. Typically, a fault with the rear number plate light is considered a non-critical issue, and it should not affect the engine's ability to start or run.
The fault code is likely indicating that there is a problem with the rear number plate light circuit. It could be a blown bulb, a loose connection, a faulty wiring, or a problem with the control module related to the lighting system.
I would try 2 things,
1, check your replacement bulb has the same values as your old one ie wattage etc.
2, if it is not the bulb disconnect the negative lead from you battery for approx 10mins, then reconnect.
You need a code reader(expensive) or a Vauxhall/Opel specialist unless anybody reading this knows what the code means. Have you tried the owners club forums?
Common fault on FORD Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat. Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault
