Alfa 146 2.0 ti

Drunk New 146 Owner

Hello all, just bought my first alfa after always wanting one for years however I have always been put off by reliability issues... I ended up with a 146 2.0 ti after realising that they seem to be a little cheaper then the 145 cloverleaf.. Anyway I already have a few issues and pan to get them sorted out in the near future..
First of all I have the usual variator problem, sounds like a diesel all the time at tick over, going to try flushing it and hope for the best! The car seems to have had full service histor up to 72..

The sunroof doesent work, any clues would be appreciated but will start testing later on..

The clock has stopped working as well..

The rocker cover seal seems to be leaking oil, would guess it needs a new seal..

Any info on sourcing parts would be greatly appreciated and can anyone reccomend a manual paper back or cds that are inexpensive?

Any love the car to bits, great fun however that fuel seems to dissapear quickly

You'll get all your answers on this site (well pretty well most of them)!
