hi
i have a alfa 75 twin spark,
it's a machine in which i love to hate.i had my days with this car,
biggest problem is to find a honest mechanic,there has been some real ****'s floating about here sydney.
don't have a clue on what they are doing.other than taking your money!
but as they say once you have been bitten,you fall in love(alfa).

tell you a story went to "alfa"mechanic, has a good name as well
auto sprint.
had this terrible smell of fuel coming through the cabin,around the back.
every time i opened the window it was worse!
mind you i had just spent over 1k there for a general check over after i just puchased the car,and this was 1 of the problems,i quoted to them.fuel smell,well,they said they had fixed all my problems,so they say.they said the fuel level was lose and they had fix the problem,got the car back still there,took it back told them no good,left the car there for a few days got it back,still there,went back again,this time they had a look while i was there watching them,you know what they said,fuel coming out of the exhaust pipe,nothing we can do,this models does this!
what a load of bull****.
so i drived around like this for 1yr,in the end got sick of it and went around to freinds "AUTO ELECTRICS' work shop and we both had a go trying to fix this problem,we cleared out the boot went down to the servo,i filled, he watched the fuel go in.you no what the problem was"fuel filler neck was split"all over the boot,spilige.so there you have 1 of the storys of these great "alfa mechanics",who are suppose to know the general faults with alfa's,after all that's why they call them selves alfa specialist!
by the way the auto electrics is south straithfield auto electrics.
opposite enfeild ten pin bowling.ask for george or john,no alfa specialist but, just good at there job!:rant:
