Well I bought a 2000 2.0 Phase 2 Spider last week. Well most of one.... It had a frontal crash in 2012 and has been worked on but not finished. It's silver with black cloth interior and when I am finished the plan is for it to be the factory yellow with blue Lusso leather interior. It looks...

Lately I've been noticing a significant (but not huge) loss of power at lower rpm (from idle up to about 3000 or so), accompanied by a slight increase in engine vibration, and some apparent slight misfiring at idle (though this could be a perception created by the increased vibration, the...

I know we don’t see fun car adverts like this anymore, but... why don’t we see fun car adverts like this anymore? Is life now so joyless? Anyway, enjoy the madness. No idea if it helped boost Tipo sales, but pretty sure it was quite a popular car in the UK in the late 80s. A current car ad...

Hi guys short story so far: after driving a 147 (105hp 1.6TS) for 2,5 years i went and bought a GT JTS. When in the 147 i always figured a little extra power would be nice, and the GT is a decent middle ground between the 147 and the GTV (which i have been pining for for years). Unlike the GTV...

My GTA was insured for £300. A full years insurance for the C63, with the same supplier (Admiral) and same terms, was £500. I am 6 months through the insurance period. Guess how much extra money Admiral wanted to swap to the C63 for the remaining 6 months.

After an enjoyable ride through traffic on my Alfa 147 ts today, using 2nd and 3rd gears effectively, I actually shouted out loud "I love this car!". Reminds me a bit of the fun I used to have screaming up hills in my old M5 :) However, is it just me, or is the stereo CD system on my Alfa just...

Hello everyone, My name is Greg, and I've been an admirer of the 105 series GT's for a while now. With the new job at the end of March I will be getting very serious about finding one in the coming year. Always looking to learn a thing or two and hoping I can find a good project to work on and...

First thing my dick of a brother in law said when he saw my GQV was "another impractical car then". 340 miles were gobbled up non-stop today, and the bars and folding roof box were used in anger for the first time. A great combo, no whistles or other annoying noise. It even colour...

Hi all, I've always loved the 147 GTA's, but have never known anyone who's owned one. I'm currently missing having a proper car, I've now got small children instead! My Honda Accord tourer is good, but not enough. So,I've just got a new job, which should give me the opportunity to buy a car...

Morning all, Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend! So I got the GT remapped yesterday, its nice and punchy now - the boost comes in a lot more urgently, followed by hilarious clutch slip immediately afterwards. The clutch and DMF are on the way and will be fixed shortly, but I have now had...

Look at this strange part (disassembled) with its deep concentric grooves inside and weird grooves on the gear part. Whatever could it be for? :) -Alex

Hello to all you Alfa lovers! I am a new user and new to the world of owning and running an Alfa (though not to drooling over them). I have recently acquired a Brera 3.2 Q4 JTS and, although it has the engine management light on (post to follow), it looks and drives like a dream. 'See' you all...
