You're welcome mate, there are cracking independent garages out there (like AutoLusso) that do excellent work for decent prices. They know their Alfas better than any dealer does, unfortunately I just saw my local (only ~130 mile-ish round trip

) close down due to lack of business. I hate to see people paying over the odds to get their cars back on the roads again knowing myself how cheaply things can be done if you know where to go and who to speak to, so helping people out on here serves a dual goal of keeping alive the fab little indies we have and stopping people getting fleeced at the same time.

All I can ask is for you to do the same with any other Alfa owners you know on here or in real life, spread the word and all that

So anyway, hopefully thats the box sorted, cambelt next then you'll hopefully be sorted for another few years of motoring, now you have a reason to keep her
