dogs

Getting ahead of myself maybe but excited (and also anxious) to plan what vehicle will replace my Giulia Veloce next year. I have 2 dogs, one of which is quite a large labradoodle, and it's paining me having them on the back seat of the Giulia, albeit with a full 'hammock' in place. It's also...

My wife and I are considering a new car for her to replace her Panda 100HP. We have two medium/large dogs (lab/retriever) and wondered whether two dogs in the back would be possible with the shelf removed? We also have an estate so it wouldn't be for anything other than local drives to the...

A couple of questions that you gurus may know the answer to: I need new rear springs (rear wheel camber) as well as new front shocks on my 99 V6. I am wondering to go down the route of eibachs with Koni STRs? Having previously owned a 2 litre I would say the V6 sits lower than the twinny - is...

Hi All, I've recently purchased my first Alfa, a MiTo, and so far I am really enjoying it. My problem is that I have two quite big dogs and one is a Dalmatian who sheds a lot. I really need some good quality seat covers but the ones I have bought so far don't fit. Had anyone come across some...

Ha ha :lol:...not what you were thinking! Just picked my Schnauzer up from the clippers after her summer cut! Just need the summer now:lol: Say hello to Lottie.

Hello all. I'm a 147 wannabee-owner, but my only doubts are fitting our furry friends in the boot. I currently have a 207 SW which they comfortably get ferried about in, but I yearn :inlove: to swap it for a 147..... Are there any 147 driving dog owners out there who can reassure me that...

What would be the best way to transport and secure a medium sized dog in a 159SW? The dog is often wet and sandy. Are there any accessories available to protect the car?

Hi All, Ive just bought my first Alfa after 20 years of driving, cant believe what ive missed. Any how I live in Cumbria and as you may tell by the title its raining cats and dogs up here at the moment.:( never mind taking the car out make me smile :D oh nfor the simple things eh!:thumbs:

I often hear (and even see on here :eek:) comments that say 'Britain has gone to the dogs'.... the 'politicians have done it all wrong' and we are a 'third rate country'. I'm talking UK here. I don't agree with these comments... but I wonder if I am misunderstanding the perspective of people...

My Gtv twinny came with a 'Superchip':eek: Today it no longer does, yeah!!!!!!!!!!:) Gus at ALFATUNE (ST Helens) removed the offending chip and worked his magic on my original chip, to say the difference is like chalk and cheese would be an understatement. It now drives all the way through the...

The reason I ask is that we might go camping somewhere near over that weekend, dogs'n'all, then on the Sunday pack up and go to NAD but the dogs would have to come too. :thumbs:

:confused:

Hi, I have just bought a 156 sportswagon and I sometimes take my German shepherd out in it. The problem is he sets the alarm of when i leave him in it. I have looked in the manual about deactivating the the alarm and it seems a bit of game just to nip to the shops etc. Is there any other more...

Can anyone recommend a good front seat cover that would suit my wife's Spider LE? It's black with tan leather. Pets at Home have a dark green one which is going to stick out fromt he tan leather interior, and it has a yellow pets at home logo on the head rest, which just isn't Alfa styling...

Hi all, Just replaced my carb mounts. All went well till I fired my car up... Starts and idles perfectly, but it is squeeling none stop?!?!? I have filled my radiator up and have added anti freeze... Could anyone help me out with this problem??? Thanks:confused:

This is our little one. One picture shows her curled up on our bed this morning & the other shows her sat opposite me while at at the computer. If only all dogs lives were like hers:)

I'm keen to get a dog, something like a bearded collie - that sort of size and build. Not massive, not tiny, just a normal dog-sized dog. The problem I've got is that my day-to-day car is a GTV, which doesn't have tons of space in it. But I know you can get harnesses and suchlike, so it might...

Hi all, My Gliptone cleaner and conditioner arrived today, I couldn't wait to get home from work and try it out. I started with the drivers seat as this is in more need than the others. Im really annoyed with the stuff to be honest:mad: Its done such a good job of cleaning and conditioning...

I came on here a few weeks ago as a new member looking to buy my first Alfa and wanting some advice. This afternoon I collected OE53 VTO, a 156 2.4JTD and went for a quick spin and I've not stopped smiling since. Like I said, it's the dogs ********!! Thanks for the tips and reassurance that I...

My dogs taking a breather on the steps of their house in the garage after getting back from a long walk. I had them in the back of my van when I took it to the DOE (road safety) test centre yesterday (the dogs wanted to go for a drive) and the people there would not leave them in the back when...
