Thanks to the Bournemouth branch, what was going to be just a wizard exhaust fitment resulted in the team highlighting some serious defects and fixing a few minor niggles, some of which would have been at the very least advisories on the up and coming MOT. Every body was friendly and...

Had my old girl in for some TLC, eibach pro and bilstein b6 kit, new top mounts, polybushed transverse arms and full alignment. Result; different car. Handling is amazing, firm but not harsh, responsive and incredible in corners. Dare I say it she handles better than my GT 3.2! Also diagnosed...

Visited Autolusso for a free Health Check and a remap on Saturday and am impressed with the set up Laurence and the guys have there! Laurence replaced the plastic bleed valve free of charge, despite needing to drill it out, and adjusted the handbrake which was binding as part of the free...

Hi, just joined up as Im looking to purchase a 159 SW and never looked forward to purchasing a car as much! Can anyone help with a quick question please, I can sign in to this site fine on my computer but have made numerous attempts on my mobile but says incorrect password and that I've exceeded...

So this week was the final push on the GT... plans were Turbo VNT re-calibration and GTA clutch and SMF conversion. I suspected that the hybrid I had on the car was still not ''quite right'' so I elected to take it off the car and get it back to turbo dynamics...those of you that have followed...

Just a very big thank you for Lawrence and his colleague at Autolusso Bournemouth yesterbay (saturday). I drove up from just outside Torquay after booking in the saturday surgery for my recently purchased Brera. The check over on my car was very thorough and i left with a smile and a lot more...

I've had an e-mail from Meridien in Bournemouth to say that the Alfa dealership will now be handled by the Westover Group. Westover are already the local Fiat dealers so I guess it sort of makes sense.

I would just like to post a quick thanks to Laurence at Autolusso Bournemouth for finally sorting out the clutch on my GT. A few others had tried and failed! In addition to this, he sorted my ABS and horn and a few other small jobs that I hadn't known were in need of attention. All in all, some...

phoned up this morning about a giulietta cloverleaf at this dealers today. Seriously interested but I don't know too much about Giuliettas. Ask about test drive and told to bring my licence . Not a problem Anyway, love the car and everything about it and tell the salesman its a lovely car...

I would like to express a huge thanks to Laurence and everyone at Autolusso Bournemouth for all their hard work and help in maintaining my 147 Ducati Corse and sorting out lots of annoying and fiddly issues that a lot of other places can't be bothered to look at. Nothing has been too much...

I posted much the same thing as part of my ongoing thread in the Images forum but I thought I'd repost here as I thought it might be of more interest to fellow JTSers. So, at 107,500 miles exactly, it broke down for the first time (in my few years with it, anyway) a few weeks back. The...

Just wanted to post my thanks to Laurence and the guys at Autolusso Bournemouth, took my 159 in for some work there recently and reckon it's the best customer service I've had in a long time. I was kept informed of what was happening throughout the process and whilst my car probably wasn't the...

A ''free' wheels themed festival over the bank holiday weekend. Check out the website for a full description of whats-on. see Bournemouth Wheels Festival for more details. This is a new event with formula one cars, supercars, classic cars etc. There are demonstration runs, displays...

Me and GT Paddy are going to Autolusso on Saturday - they have the free healthcheck thingy and Paddy is having some work done on his spider... Thought I might aswell post it to see if anyone else fancies coming, can make it a bit more of an interesting route and have some lunch somewhere?

Big thanks to Joss and Chris who have checked my recently acquired 156 V6 over... diagnosing, advising, replacing and repairing bits and bobs with enthusiasm and efficiency. They clearly love old Alfa's as much as those of us who are trying to keep them on the road. Nothing seems to be too much...

Hi all, my names Mark from Bournemouth and I'm in love!! Purchased a 52 plate Alfa 156 Selespeed 2.0 JTS last week and I absolutely love it, faults and all!! 88k with some history, loads of receipts, and the Selespeed works perfectly and is a joy to use!! There are 1 or 2 issues, which I will...

At the start of this month I made a phonecall to Autolusso Bournemouth, I booked in my 2004 GT for a cambelt change and Waxoyl at the end of the month after reading recommendations about them on this forum. I had wanted it done sooner, but understood that they were busy. The local specialists...

Hi All, Just wanted to share a few pics of my refreshed rear suspension which was changed at Autolusso Bournemouth last Friday. I was present the whole time the work was being done and John did a cracking job. Quite heavy duty work getting the old bushes out of the upper arms etc... Big...

Following our GTV restoration that we featured on here - http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-gtv-and-916-spider/347914-autolusso-bournemouth-2-0-gtv-mechanical-restoration.html We have now taken on a 145 Cloverleaf restoration. Our customer who acquired this 145 completely free of charge from...

Here is something a little different from the GTA rebuilds that are usually seen on here. It is great to see someone who is really passionate about their 2.0 GTV. A good customer of mine who owns a lovely 2002 2.0 GTV that has been using more and more oil and is now using about 3 litres of oil...
