Hi all, During the recent icy weather, my wipers got solidly stuck to the windscreen overnight. I think I may have pulled a bit too hard dislodging the driver's side wiper, with the result that it appears the mounting point to the body, under the black plastic fairing, may have broken. The...

So my Brera S was in today in relation to a noise from the O/S front end. After a full inspection by my mechanic the car needs front bushes (but been told these can't be bought separately so needs two new arms), a power steering pump, new flywheel so a clutch as well and the gearbox has to come...

Arrived home last night to see a worrying looking patch on the drive where I park the car, popped the bonnet and could see fuel dripping from the filter. Not the end of the world, I keep an eye out for service parts in between services and have a filter handy. When removing the connector for...

It seems many years since the old bill had a real sports car to catch the speedsters...The last real one I believe was the Daimler Dart in the early M1 days.(Essex had some WRX's). They are testing the McLaren 12C all logo'd up in old bill colours...... I'll wager there is a queue to join the...

A couple of days ago the mrs broke down in the 156 at the very front of a queue, at traffic lights, waiting to get onto a roundabout on the m61/m6 (in rush hour, of course). The radiator had decided to give up the ghost and most of the gallon of water i poured in promptly gushed straight out of...

Have visited AutoLusso for the first time - my GT has gone in to get the arb/bushes sorted as it rattles like hell. Mentioned the very stiff clutch, plus recent poor starting and engine management error. Also slow puncture... It has around 78K on the clock. Turned out the clutch was knackered -...

Afternoon all, Just wanted your opinions on a repair bill I just had from a local garage. I normally do alot of work on my Alfa myself but as it needed some suspension work I thought better leave it to the professionals. Below is a break down of the bill- Is it excessive or about right? L/F...

Hi All, My 156 Sportwagon has been at the garage for some work recently and the bill is rather :cry: Wanted to get peoples opionions on the time taken to confirm they're not having a laugh. The following is the core list of what they have done: 1) Oil & filter service 2) Replace central rear...

I recently posted about my failed DPf and asked if Alfa would try to wriggle out of a claim. I am delighted to say ' Fair play' to Alfa and Northgate Alfa Romeo in Canterbury who did the work, cleaned the car gave me a Mito to play with for the day and most importantly, no bill. A forum is...
