days

Hi all, my partner is thinking of selling her 147 to upgrade to a Giulietta, the cars served her well and she paid £3k for it just over 2 years ago from a local trader. The car is a 5 door 2007 Collezione 1.6TS with the tan interior, on a tad over 60k miles. Unfortunately the car didn't come...

drove the 5 miles home from work last night car was running lovely in the cold air, on arrival at home i got out to be greeted with the smell of burning rubber and smoke pouring out from under the bonnet. pulled the bonnet release in the footwell which promptly broke away in my hand. with the...

So pleased, not only was it a sunny day on Monday but my beloved 75 TS Veloce passed its MOT with no advisories. Not bad for a 28-year-old car! Now for some more sunny weather please so I can actually enjoy the car!

Yup as expected amazing, considering I've never even driven or seen a Guilia in the flesh I really took a big risk, but that's me all over. Well so far just amazing, I've have a few niggles:- 1) Satnav doesnt always come on from start, engine has to be stopped and then restarted for the screen...

Do you ever have one of those days, a few weeks back I ordered a WiFi "super OBD" reader for my car, the intention being to leave it in place. In the past I have done this using Torque software but I have had difficultly getting a copy, and ideally one that will run on IOs. Anyway I bought a...

Reported a start/stop failure 2 weeks ago and then the engine light came on ... rang assistance and they said it needed to go to the delears where it has been for 10 days !! They have found a foualt with the inlet manifold sensor and also the start / stop !! Duff ?

Anyone know where I can get a set of the genuine alfa luxury mats from? Alfisti shop have them for left hand drive only, yet to find anything else

Due to some poor planning, I've been asked to break my holiday for a day for a client meeting. The deal was that they would pay for a decent hire car for the week, rather than schelpping to the airport in a panda. So I now have a while Giulia diesel to play with. First impressions...

Yesterday :) Rhigos & Bwlch Mountains. Getting my bonce burnt on the last day of October! Great stuff :cool:

I bought my first Giulietta in Oct 2010 when Alfa Red was suspended due to the chipping problems. I then bought a 2011 Mito in Red which I had Ventureshielded on the bumper only. The bonnet chipped in a few places and I do a low mileage. So here I am in 2106, just been quoted £499 for a front...

It is a bogus sport, to my mind. Invalid. Irrelevant. Cloistered yet brazen. No fun. Structurally fixed. Inbred. Ridiculous. Joyless. Boring. :paperbag:

365 days ago I picked up my 2010 Brera 3.2 V6 Q4 and off I went on what has probably been the best twelve months of motoring fun I have had. Have never photographed a car so much. It makes me smile. Love the burble of the exhaust. Did some TLC and fettling as you do... new alloys, Prodrive...

Hi I commute weekly to Milton Keynes for work and some of you may have seen I had Radiator problems last week in my Yellow Spider, I managed to get it home to Somerset last Friday. So I took the Blue Spider this week. On Tuesday (in rain) the wipers decided to stop working. Used my phone to...

when even the easy parking spaces are too much bother. I was driving past space after space this morning because I couldn't be ar5ed to reverse into them. I was finally rewarded on my third circuit of the area by a nice space on the end of a row that I could just drive straight into, no...

what happened to the old days of your alternator needing to be replaced and you just lean in the engine bay unbolt 2 bolts and just lift it out then replace it and done in 30mins. i hope the wifes 147 never has anything go wrong wit it again. ive never shouted so many swear words to a none...

Car hit the big figures today 100000 miles. Car was at 74768 when I bought it a year ago and when it gets MOT'd on Sunday that will be 26000 trouble free and enjoyable miles. Hopefully many more to come.

Hi all. I have just got myself a beautiful ***** 147 Ti on a 56 plate with 54k. I was so happy with this car after test drive, feels very sporty and handles very well. Also great on fuel!! 2 days in the coolant gauge went to max and engine over heated. I've had the air lock removed but this...

Hi all, so i picked up my Giulietta on Saturday its now monday and the drivers inside door handle just broke, the mirror adjustment switch seems to have packed up, but the drive is AMAZING! love it, but why why do these things go wrong when its a 3 hour round trip back to the place i brought...

As an antidote for all the problems and tales of woe. My Spider passed the MOT again, no advisories or problems, even a 33% handbrake:happy: Sun is shining so a quick blast through the country lanes to give it a bit of exercise. Got back with a fly stuck firmly in the front teeth - must have...
