Hi again,
Thanks for the replies ,the vehicle is a US spec car from Calafoinia.
It also has the US spec Spika mechanical fuel injection,as I say the car starts well from cold with the key.Once on the road its a dream to drive,but stop,turn off and attempt to restart it's having none of it.
The plugs leads have all been renewed ,the local Alfa main dealer had serviced the car 8-9 years ago.When ever it returned from the main dealer it had more faults than ever.
If you can think of any more questions I can ask the mechanic or advice I can pass on to him I would be grateful.The mechanic services my Land Rover ,and I know over the years to my perril how problomatic they can be at times.(300 series timing problems,water /oil leaks)
Thanks for yor help so far Lads.
Nigel
