Recently purchased an 54 plate 147 1.6 Turismo. I absolutely love it!! Having read all your posts about the pleasures of Alfa ownership am now experiencing it!
my bella is alfa re dand done 11k - well since i've had it its now done 11200!
its a pleasure to drive and own - is there any hints and tips to keep her running well?
Check oil levels weekly!!!!!!!!!!! I don't understand the meaning of 54 plate? If it is 3+ years old the cam belts/tensioners need changing irrespective of mileage covered.
will check the oil - is there any special oil i should be using - i know alfa recomment salenzia (sp)
54 plate is when it was registered which was january 05 - they have also done the service and i got it from sunwin motors who are doing a lifetime warrenty offer!
i will try and post some pics when i get home from work
will post some pics when i get home - if i can get them to work! not sure really around the 10 -11 sec mark - got to much of a stupid grin on my face to be counting!
I'm from Chilwell mate,I work in mansfield so often shoot through Arnold,Hucknall so keep an eye out for a Grigio mettalic Grey 147.Glad your pleased with your car, trouble is you wont want to drive any other make now....
Will do mate! I'm originally from Mansfield - but moved out as soon as i could! Will look out for you tho, mines an Alfa Red 147. Hopefully will post some pics when i get back home!
Yes I must get some pics on here of mine,see ya around,oh yes just a word of warning Sunwin need to be approached with your eyes wide open,They do a reasonable job but watch the servicing costs they are legalised robbery,I dont know what will be covered on the lifetime warranty but be careful all the same.
Thanks Galaxy. i will make sure i'm wary of them should i need to go there for anything. I just read your other post about the garage in sutton - so good to know theres options and he sounds very reasonable.
cheers mate!
