Hi gents as a few of you have already been just wanted to add my experience:
Ive got a 156 v6 which had a slight over heating after taking advice from other members refering to water pump decided to take the plunge and get it sorted, good job i did,
cam belt had supposed to have been changed but thats all they had changed some bodge it man i guess pulleys all ready for going tensioner had been jammed up by a self tapping screw and still plastic impelor on a car with 124,000 on clock.
Take over alfa workshop, arrived at 8am job took till 545 but knew it would take a while everything changed new belt tensioner pullies waterpump metal impellor ofcoarse aux pullies and belt the guy replaced nuts and bolts forgotten by previous muppet he even gave the car a once over then the cost including all parts labour and vat the total came to £652 still a lump of money but compared to other places this was cheap so cant say enough GOOD things about them.

heard nothing but good about them £625 seems cheap compared to an engine rebuild then the pulleys or tensioner fail..

I recently bought my 156 V6 SW and am very happy with it :)
Even though I live in West London I think I'll take it to these guys when the first service is due; it's very important to me that I can trust completely the honesty, expertise and competence of whoever works on my car and advises on what needs doing, and the positive reviews on this forum inspire a lot of confidence.
(They have a 'things to do in Royston' section on their site for those making the day-trip!:cool:)

Been there loads of times, you must've been unlucky, maybe someone got distracted and made an honest mistake. Not ideal, but it does happen. I'm sure Jamie would be horrified to hear about the workmanship and sort out your issues.
