Re: Did your Alfa breakdown today

No, but it broke down on Monday. In fact it was running on 5 cylinders for most of today. Does that count? Can I cast 1/6th of a vote?

Re: Did your Alfa breakdown today

Is it outside your house or 'abandoned' somewhere?

Re: Did your Alfa breakdown today

Not had a break down yet and *touch wood* hopefully won't for a while.

Sorry to hear about your Alfa Mr. O, hope you are back on the road soon

Re: Did your Alfa breakdown today

I haven't got an Alfa at the moment.

I have never actually had one break down on me, but I have had one that failed to start after a shopping trip. It did go in the end though and was because of a failed bosch crank sensor. (Bloody german rubbish)

Re: Did your Alfa breakdown today

Mine's been safely ensconced in the garage all week. Tomorrow it'll get a quick clean and polish before carrying me, my wife and our beautiful daughter to her christening.

And it bloody well better not break down on that particular job....
