Help Parts/Service advice

Just got my first Alfa - a Series 3 Spider and have a couple of questions:
What is a good/inexpensive source for new and used parts in the UK?
Can anyone recommend a place for servicing etc. in north London -what about Alfarama in Stanmore?

Re: Parts/Service advice

Can't help with servicing in North London, but heading south a bit, Ian Ellis is very good in Brighton, he posts a lot on the Owners Club Forum and certainly knows his stuff.

Source for parts is easier, in no particular order;

Highwood motor company, Swansea, Chris Sweetapple. Very quick service, and great guy, good website too.

EB Spares, Kevin. very friendly been in business longer than anybody else.

Alfaholics, The Banks Family, best for performance bits, but very good for other stuff too, another good website.

Classic Alfa, Richard Norris, more local if you want to go and visit, excellent website.

All the above would be found by a google search, they are the four main suppliers of new parts in the UK.

For used parts just keep browsing Ebay, there are various regulars who always have lots of 105 bits.

Good luck with the Spider

I find EB Spares in Westbury, Wiltshire very good for spares and advice.
Good luck with the Spider.

Re: Parts/Service advice

Ian Ellis (http://www.ianellisalfas.co.uk/) is my spannerman, but for someone a bit closer to north London, you could try Keith Waite (http://www.k-and-lautos.co.uk/). I can recommend both.
