Introduction

Well hi everyone, my name is really Alex and I have owned 3 Alfas, my first was a '97 155 2.0TS Wideboy (belt snapped ), the second is a '00 146 1.6TS with the third (the wifes car actually) an '04 147 1.6TS. I am though currently awaiting delivery of my new pride and joy, the very sexyful 159 2.4JTDm Ti sportwagon on an '08 plate in April, IMO the most asthetically pleasing piece of engineering every to come out of Italy.

I am myself a fully qualified car mechanic and licensed aircraft technician and have enjoyed working on others Alfas over the years, fortunately I've never had to go deeper than a regular service on any of mine, the 155 just wasn't worth fixing, and hopefully my years of experience in engineering will help some folks out.
