Hi Alfa guru's I made the mistake of leaving one of those tree air fresheners on my air vent and it seems in the 40+ degree heat days we've been experiencing in Sydney the past weeks its allowed to oil/fragrance to expand naturally due to the heat except it did that on the plastic/matte trim on...

Hi. Just hit a pillar in my garage and damaged by rear right fender. :( Has anybody repair a similar damage without very high cost? I've read in the manual that a replacement requires cutting and welding, which i am sceptical about having done. :( Edit: The color is Giallo Geistra (Solid...

Hi All We had a bad storm where I live over the weekend and the underground carpark of the seafront apartment was flooded with a meter of seawater. There were over 40 cars in there including my Giulia. The carpark was not pumped out until over 24 hours later. I have reported the incident and...

Just killed my audio board. The one that holds the cassete player. I was modifying mine to add bluetooth, and work when selecting the cassette. All was going great, it sounded awesome, and even I had modded the famous aux-in circuit, now the FM was working well (the original circuit causes weird...

All, I’ve got a bit of a problem. I’m trying to change the discs on my Brera. Having got over a set back or two, I’ve finally got to changing the disc and now the training screw is stuck solid and guess what. I’ve stripped it. I’m going to have to drill it out. Any suggestions? Things to be...

My 1750 Tbi is cursed. It was/is?? a good one, I had Ned @ Autolusso give her the once over at a Sat clinic. Since, done 10k, and I’ve done lots of preventative stuff – turbo feed pipe filter, replaced discs, changed both oils etc when I bought it (though I didn’t bother with the engine oil...

Hi Guys, So, I had a tyre shop put some winter tyres on a spare set of 16's for the Giulietta. Everything seemed to be fine, drove all the way across Europe and the alps to Rome for Christmas and back. Went to take the wheels off yesterday and we struggled, and noticed once one wheel was...

Hey guys, Sorry for the multiple posts about cars I'm looking at buying, but I don't want to end up buying a pup of an Alfa GT! I'm looking at the following car, which seems great, apart from the final line in the description: "Bad point of the car is it has an intermittent air bag light...

So, some clown who lives down the road from me drove up past my sons Ti and basically hit the front nearside corner and rubbed the entire length of their car up it! To be fair they owned up and apologised gave us their insurance details and their company admitted liability and arranged for the...

Hi folks, I own a Giulietta 2014 with the 5" Uconnect audio system and was unlucky to drop my smartphone right on the volume button/knob. As a result, the volume ring got kind of loose and spins most of time without changing the volume. Sometimes it kind of snaps to something and then volume...

Hi everyone I'm hoping I can get some advice. I let the battery on my V6 GTV go flat as I hadn't run the car for a few weeks after I moved house. Not a problem I thought as i have jump leads on case of breakdown on a recent trip to the Scottish Highlands. However I think I may have screwed up...

Hi, Firstly apologies as this is not related to my Alfa, but for my wife’s 2010 Peugeot 308. Unfortunately she a little accident and smashed her rear windscreen. Autoglass wasn’t able to come out until 3 days later, so I cut out and used black bin liners and brown tape. Done a pretty good job...
