Welcome to AO. Take it to your local dealer, if it has full service history they might help you out of their good will.. Especially if its due a service

Dont make the mistake of thinking german cars of your cars age are a hell of alot more reliable/trouble free.Stick with the Alfa marque.(Unlike my temporary situation)

All those electrical bits are German.

I'd have a nose\ask around in the
tech lounge before becoming too
disillusioned.

Welcome.
