Dealer told me this afternoon it's the head gasket.

I'm more than a little bit ****ed off, there is no way this should happen on a 35k mile car (04 plate). As for abuse: the car has done one trackday a year ago and been to Santapod once. Apart from that, I have only ever driven on public roads. Yes, I accelerate hard down the odd slip road, but for ****s sake, it's a performance car, its supposed to do that!

The dealers going to give me a quote in the morning. Needless to say, I'll be after Alfa Romeo to cough at least some of the price up.
