Hey guys. 2 days ago I bought this horrid Alfa Romeo 147 for pennies as it's seen better days. I bought it for the same amount it's worth in scrap, don't mind spending money on it to make it nice. So when I initially inspected the car the car sounded like a diesel. I suspected it was a bad...

Hello everyone! I bought an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0 JTDM-2 140 PS last month. It is a 2011 model year and my first Alfa ever! For now i love the car so much, but i have once concern. The gas mileage is horrible and way off the advertised 5.7l in the City. My main commute to work is a 6km long...

After picking my 156 up after a major service inc belts, a horrible noise has just appeared which wasn't there before the service.........it is like a grating noise when the car is moving coming from the front of the car, even when freewheeling, both forwards and backwards. The noise sounds like...

You've Got To Feel For This Guy!! :eek:

I'm on my second 147 GTA now :) and getting rather frustrated. :mad: The first one (04 plate) developed a horrible "boinging" noise from the front suspension which could be felt up through the pedals. It got so bad it had be whipped into Guest Alfa. They couldn't find the problem so just...

Hi, Had my 1.6 lusso for a couple of weeks now but on the way home from work last night and on the way to work this morning it started to make a horrible noise. It happens when you get just above 3000 revs but then goes when you hit about 3500 revs, it's hard to describe but it's kind of like a...

This ugly thing is being sold on eBay: It's horrible!

On firday I parked my car up at the girlfriends, and left one fo the lights on. Came to sunday and there was no charge left so had to call out the RAC (very good, came in 40 minutes vs 6 hours for the AA). Anyway when we got the engine started it ran rough as anything, sounded like a loud...

Righto, just had the clutch done because of failed thrust bearing, springs etc. £527 Garage says 'its developed a bit of a mis-fire' It already had some problems as MAF is on its last legs I expect, so I paid up and thought nothing of it Driving home and it has massive hesitation throughout...
