Hi all, I used to own an Alfa 147 that I never really bonded with, final straw was when it broke down whilst away in Edinburgh and had to get towed about 7 hours home - from then on it had plenty of money chucked at it and nothing I could find fixed the problem (Selespeed; my mistake probably...

and not a bliimin A**i cli*oris. Ive see two ideal motors at Western Edinburgh both 2.0TD 170 Veloce's help me please :cry:

Here's the story. My wife has had a 2.5 156 for about 9 years, so I'm familiar with the model. My daily driver is a 4.6 litre Land-Rover, which has suitably appaling fuel consumption, but more importantly is knackering to drive long distances. It is brilliant for towing 3 tonne trailers...

Hi guys i have a alfa mito 1.4 155 tb and i have always wanted a 159 ti (1750) there is a lovely one at chris variava in notts in black etc with 35k mileage one of the sales guy's has done me a good deal but i do not know if i should take the plunge? The mito is lovely but i will have the option...

Okay, here's the sketch - currently use the Brera for work every day as I only live 8 miles away, but in the not so distant future I will be moving to about 40 miles away. This rules out a 3.2V6 4WD as my everyday transport when petrol is approaching £1.40 a litre. So, I'm looking for an...

Hi, I am new to this forum and I'd like someone to convince me to buy a 156!! I'm driving a 97' 1.3 lancer glx which I want to get rid off asap and possibly buy an Alfa. I love the look of the 156, it's such a pretty car but I keep coming up with a reason not to go out and buy one... Things...

OK, I've had a GT for the last 2 years because i loved the look of it (Dijon Blue with Tan Leather - never seen another!). Am now in love with a new beast - A black Brera S. OK, So what's the problem?? All i read on Alfaowner is how the performance does not justify the mpg... There's news of...

I love my GTV 2.0 TS, but I'm already having thoughts about upgrading to a V6. I really want to get an idea, in people's opinions on here, what the good, the bad and the ugly (there's nothing ugly) are between the two. My plan is to drive this car until May, get it through it's MOT, and then...

Convince me into getting a GTV V6, I have just been offered one for £2500 in perfect condition, now persuade me people!!!!

Ok, so 3 weeks ago I bought myself an 05 156 Sport wagon, 2.4 20v multijet, only 60k miles on it, Full black leather in mint condition. Silver, few chips on the front but i could live with that as the paint was other wise in mint condition. I didn't opt for the warranty (:rolleyes:) as i bought...

Love the looks of the car and the price is right. Only problem is reliability. Can someone who has a 147 tell me their experience with it? How good is the 1.9 jtd? Thanks

Morning guys I currently have a Clio 182, mildly tuned. I'm looking to change it soon to something else. The 147 GTA is one of my options... Is it going to meet my criteria? - Quicker than the clio - Looks good (I know this is true already) - Big enough to fit in my mates (clio isn't) -...

open for all opinions

My 2.5 V6 is coming up for replacement soon. Great and quick car it is, however I have rarely seen over 20mpg. Confess I do drive it hard. I have heard much about the 2.4 JTD and like the idea of the massive torque and thus good perfromance combined with the 30mpg+ economy. Question is - is it...
