My starter motor didn’t engage/turn the engine. Pulled right front wheel, inner wheel arch and rotated the engine a fraction by the lower main timing belt wheel. Now starter motor engaged, engine started hesitantly and have been idling rough since that. Error shows misfire on 4, 5 and 6. Can...

Have had this Alfa for several years and only put a couple of thousand miles on it annually. Sometimes it starts a bit rough but always runs well after warming up for 1-2 minutes. A few days ago it started very rough and warming up did not help. It runs but not with enough power to really drive...

Hi all, The time has come to replace the trouble & strife's ageing 147 and she wants a Mito... So being more than happy for her to have another Alfa (Number 10 in fact) I've been looking at the Sportiva or Live limited edition with the 0.9 85bhp Twinair engine. She'll be doing around 250...

I'm considering changing both the master and slave cylinders on my GT 3.2 clutch to see if I can improve the clutch, which is currently unacceptably stiff. Can anyone who has done this job give me a rough idea of how long it is likely to take? My understanding is that the slave cylinder is...

Hello everyone. I have an Alfasud 1500ti engine with twin Dellertos and electronic ignition in my car. The engine is running very lumpy and backfiring on the overrun. To check that there was a good spark at each cylinder I connected a Gunson timing light to each HT lead in turn while the engine...
