Hi all, Was looking for some help. Unfortunately I was driving late at night and went over an creature which caused damage to the undertrey of the car. I've been looking around but can't seem to find anywhere or anyone that has an undertrey for me to get? Can anyone help advise if it's...

Goof afternoon all, I bought this lovely Giulietta with some rear bumper damage about a month ago and have finally decided to get my head around it and get it sorted. Passed the MOT with no major issues, apart from that knocked out reflector on the lower left that had to be replaced. It’s...

Morning all, as per the title, the tyre shop I use has damaged all 4 of my wheels - and no, it's not the usual suspect. A bit of background, I had my wheels professionally painted last March at around £90 a corner, and the wheels have remained largely unscathed - apart from a curbing on one...

Hi Everyone, I previously posted having purchased a 2009 3.2 S with 57K miles. It has some damage to the front OS suspension. I have bought cars before with similar damage. They have typically had pressed steel arms so it is easy to see damage, they bend or snap. The forged or cast arms on...

Morning all. I just went through a deep puddle on the A30 and pulled some plastic off from underneath passenger side, midway. Any ideas what it is? What it protects? Expensive to replace? Thank you in advance

Someone reversed into the side of my car the other night. It was in a car park so fairly low speeds involved. I've attached a pic of the damage done to my rear offside wheel. What are the chances this has caused suspension damage? What's the best way to get it checked? My local indie is booked...

this hot weather hasn't been good to my paint job. the clear-coat is bubbling. anyone else have this problem - any ideas to make it look better?

Been happily driving the last 18months taking my Giulietta 2012 from 30k to 64k. Noticed a slight hesitation around a point in the rev range, just below 2000rpms I think. Too it in to the garage for a check but no fault codes and Airflow sensor okay, was told to bring it back if a code appears...

Noticed a little defect on the steering wheel today, there was a tiny piece of rubber sticking out, when I rubbed it it fell off and left a little hole. I don't think I damaged it, anyone else seen anythng like this?

Unfortunately for me a couple of weeks ago, the passenger side front wheel of my 159 ti came off my car on the M5 motorway - thankfully nobody else was involved and nobody got injured. I've been left with the dilemma of fixing my car now - after having it recovered to a garage and having the...

Right so I was taking a look at the rear subframe and saw that the rear camber adjustment extrusion on the subframe has snapped. See attached image for example this is not my subframe as mine has snapped off, circled in red is the snapped area. I am not sure when this happened but it is a little...

Aargh - driving under a motorway bridge today and a stone was thrown up by traffic going over the bridge and came down like a bullet onto bonnet - now have a dent and paint damage - not massive but I know its there and see it all the time. Only a small dent - but I need to have it sorted. Not...

Wife hit o/s rear wheel on high kerb in a car park. The car now has pretty bad negative camber and has been adjusted as much as possible having taken for alignment so something is bent. According to garage it might be the circled part which mounts part 13 on diagram attached. Does anyone know...

Hi fellows, My name is Periklis and i own a Mito QV SBK Limited Edition (53/200) After approximately 3.5 years and 35k km the Sabelt seats have started breaking into pieces in their sides (see photos attached) Anyone else having the same problem? What do you propose? I think this is...

Hello, I have owned other Alfas but never an Alfa 75. I have always wanted one and now one has come up for sale. However it has rear quarter damage from the rear door back. My question is, "are Alfa 75s tripple skinned in the rear quarter as other Alfas?" "And how easy or difficult...

Giulia hit a lump of expanded polystyrene yesterday at motorway speed, cracked the lower offside grille and pushed the parking sensor out (back behind the grille). I managed to prise the parking sensor housing apart (two fingers through the grille) so that I could retrieve the small front part...

Morning guys, I've had the worst morning :( Just parked up in the same car park I've been using for the last 12 months and careless scraped my passenger front wheel arch and drivers' side rear wheel arch against the wall (not another car, I'm not like that!). I'm literally heart broken right...

My GTV I recently aquired has been in a rear shunt at some point before I owned it. The bumper is off alignment slightly and the rear lense is cracked. I removed the boot carpet, light lense and started removinig the bumper this evening, bumper irons look straight but the bulk head has pushed...

Upon dismantling my 3.0 I noticed damage on the rear of the crank pulley and on the engine itself. Sorry haven't mastered the art of posting photos yet. As the bottom end had gone, allbeit a big end, I thought this may have been caused by excessive end float but none is obvious and it is...
