Alfa 156

Re: Has anybody got a review for Sherburn alfa spares

Don't bother mate. My engine came from there, previous owner got it installed, when it was put into the car it was leaking oil, which saturated the timing belt, necessitating a full belt change, and replacing the leaky gaskets. Sherburn's contribution to this was to send a new gasket

While the engine was out, they replaced his brand new battery with a dodgy old one that let him down, lost his locking wheel nuts, failed to tighten up a wheel fully, which fooked the hub, and a few more things which I can't really remember. I have it all wrote down on the service history which I have at home. Anyway, the guy who owned the car at the time, his username on here is 'bacon', drop him a PM and he'll tell you all about it
