Heart Attack

This is not right....

The chrome is peeling from two of the the manifolds on My V6, leaving
some rusty pipework exposed underneath..

The alfa warranty manager is at my dealers tomorrow and they will be
taking this up with them for replacement.

Has anyone heard of such a thing - defaced, wounded - perfection
shattered.... it cannot be left untended...

Apart from this The results of My 36K service show:

the AR bar bushes need doing again (only done a year ago)

And the Starter motor that is sticking occasionally after the engine turns
over...

Progress on the alarm - the country code was set wrong so it was arguing
with the ECU, it seems to set 75% of the time now - opposed to 20%
before, this will get relooked at firday.

Need a new undertray - should be in friday.

The brake fluid change was knocked off the service as they only did the
brake mod in October.

I do like Mangoletsi - I travel 40 miles each way to let them look after my car.
