Morning all. Still loving the v6 and very pleased with my purchase after 6 days. I mentioned previously that it has a noisy tappet noise on cold start that goes away after a minute, and an occasional judder at idle. This morning was the first time I started the car in the proper frost so it...

Hi , have a new Mito QV line and twice now the doors refuse to lock when its sub zero outside. The unlock fine but they will not close for around ten minutes approx until the car heats up. My guess is back to the dealer but has anyone else experienced this !

Just spent the friggin coldest hour outside, but on the upside, windscreen washer pipe reconnected (after recently coming loose after fitting a new wiper motor), new crystal side repeaters fitted and a number of bulbs replaced on the speedo & rev counter. The things we won't do for our Alfas.

It's a real pain to get traction out of the driveway... but once I get moving, things seems to ease up. One of the neighbours pointed out this morning that my car moved about 100...

Hi all - I hope this is just because of the cold, and not an electrical problem - but after a particularly cold day, the driver side window didn't go down an inch while the door was opened. After that, the door either didn't close properly, or the sensor thought it was the case. I left the...

December last year it was B freezing here, one of the worst winters we've had temperature wise for a long time. Minus ten C° and colder for a long spell. OK in the Alps, a wee bit cold in town... Anyway, with this brass monkey weather, I decided that I didn't want to stand around waiting for the...
