Hi, It's time to replace the lovely 159 for the Giulia, and I have seen this great second hand car, with all the important options I like and it comes with a good price. I haven't been able to find one alike. Now my problem, it doesn't have the foldable rear seats, major bummer, potential...

Hi, I bought a front drivers seat from 147 on scrapyard because I want some seat as PC chair. I used the folder handrail to fold seat down, but if I streight it back, it doesn't click in top position and it's stil loose. Can anybody help me, where is something, ratchet,lock....to move it and...

Evening all, I’ve been BMW for as long as I can remember and my last 3 cars have been the last three versions of the BMW m3 coupe (the last obviously an M4). I’ve always had the Alfa itch since my old man had one and I’ve finally committed. M4 going this weekend and I ordered a Gulia QV...

So after many years in the wilderness after owning a 145 cloverleaf when they were new and growing up with suds and the like I went out and bought a 159 ti 2.4d. It's had the usual bits done like swirl flaps etc and tuning I believe as it flies. Few things to sort out like 2 new rear window...

7 years away but now back in the fold. Welcome our Giulietta 1.4 MA QV Line

Hi, it looks like after a 10 year departure (been messing around with fiat coupes)...I'm potentially back in the fold with a 3.2 v6 q4 spider??? Had 2 GTV's back in the day and loved them, always wanted a spider. Only question I have is does anyone know if the spiders (later 2008 brera types)...

I owned and drove a 1971 1750GTV Frome 1974 until 1980. Best car I ever had given the time period. I have just purchased another 1971 GTV. Bodywork in pretty good condition but work needs to be done on the rest. Look forward to using the forum in the coming months and years.

New to the forum (obviously) as just picked up a Gulietta cloverleaf after being stuck with boring/company/workhorse cars for last 10 years. Last Alfa was a 147 and all I can say the new (14 plate) Gulietta is a cracker and a revelation. Hopefully S. Wales will grow its love for these special...

Having sold my GTV V6 a couple of years ago (for a profit!) a combination of missing it and the Lancia still being 18 months from completion means I've come back to the light. I made the LONG trip down to the tip of Cornwall on Sat to collect this...

Picking up my Guiletta Cloverleaf next Saturday. Previous alfas have included a 75 v6 cloverleaf, and a 145 cloverleaf, but have not had an alfa since 2001.

Went to pick up my rental car at a Seattle airport this afternoon, having booked full-size, Ford Fusion or similar. There, in all its glory, was a. . . Toyota Camry! So, a quick word with the nice Avis Preferred man along the lines of "I don't want a Toyota, haven't you got something more...

Afternoon All... A hello from me :) just purchased my first MiTo (1.3) and very happy to be back in Alfa ownership. Had a 145 many years ago, I loved it and did regret getting rid. Then got into, and worked in, the VW scene for about a decade so have been driving a varying array of VW's and...

After 5 years in the worldeness with the eventual arrival of the Giulia and my car due for replacement it was time once again to return to Alfa ownership that I had missed so much. So it was with great optimism that I set of to my local dealer to try and purchase a Veolce. Following an initial...

I know it's a boring read but I thought I'd throw in my two cents about my time with Alfa Romeo as it has now come to an end. It's been a fun 4 years with my Mito TwinAir but the time came for it to go as the PCP contract was up. I've massively enjoyed Alfa ownership and learned a lot about...

It's been a while, but I suppose it was inevitable. After my Alfa 147, I had a Jag and then a Citroen C6 which unfortunately got written off on Monday evening last week. But I'll be picking up it's replacement soon, a nice looking 159 Sportswagon with low mileage and decent spec, albeit 'only'...

Can any one help? I bought an Alfa Romeo lusso 1.6 ti 2006 and noticed I couldn’t fold my wing mirrors in, Didn’t want to force them in case they broke, the other day the drivers side got clipped and broke off. I have bought 2 brand new ones and noticed that these don’t fold in either , I don’t...

Hi after over 30 years away I've returned to alfa ownership with a mito 1.3jtdm. In the 80's had a alfasud in a very fetching brown colour. Paint and rust!! First time in a very long time I have a smile on my face driving. My black mito can be seen driving round Inverness and the highlands. As i...

After spending the last seven years driving company cars, I am so happy to be back in an Alfa, I pick this up on Thursday. 3.2 SV Q4

At last I am back - I've just bought a 2002 GTV. So, questions: Where is the best place to get an exhaust system fitted, mine is ropey as hell! Are any of the standard fitters any good (kiwi fit etc)? Where is the best place to get a cam belt, variation, tensioners change done these days - I...
