Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and about to move to London permanently for work. As I'm new to the city, could you let me know which dealers I should avoid and which would be reliable. I'm intending to purchase a new Giulia QV. Thanks!

I have to sell our Giulietta Cloverleaf and wonder if someone can recommend any dealerships for the purpose in North/East London?

Hello Guys I need some advise, my QV is due its 2 service next month. Does anyone have any advice on where to get it serviced in and around London. I live in the North each and had it services at Glen Hopkins in Ilford which was a disaster and i want to avoid that place at all costs. Any...

Hey all So I was all set get set to buy my second hand Giulietta (model in title) come August, and lo and behold...it was just announced that the extended ULEZ is set to come into force in 2021(october I think?). It will add a surcharge to all diesel cars below Euro 6 in the area where I live...

Hello. Any recommendations for Alfa experts in North London reasonably priced and honest? Thanks

Hello AOers Don't own an Alfa yet although theres always been one in the family at some point , but looking to get a 159 SW to haul the family comfortably. I love classics too, and own a '94 BMW E31 840, '84 Merc 500SL and '73 Merc 350s. Thanks for accepting me. Mariano

Hey guys. I have previously mentioned i have been having some issue starting the car. I think i may have narrowed the issue down to either the ECU or its power supply. It was suggested i borrow another 159 ecu to see if it will connect to my diagnostics. Is there anyone who can lend me there...

Hello, I have just joined this forum, although been meaning to for a while. I am the proud owner of a black 2010 Giulietta C-leaf purchased in 2014 with 30k on the clock (now 80k). Had a few small issues, but loved every minute......So much so that I've just bought a Launch Edition Matte...

Hello everyone After reading trawling this forum, I convinced myself to buy my first AR - a 3 year old Giulietta QVline just over a week ago. It's a 1.4 MA with TCT, Etna Black (I love the colour and its connotations). I've been having fun whilst getting used to a relatively more thrilling...

As you'll see the car has had a little scratch on the n/s that I need to fix. I have been quoted £65o for that and wondering if it's that too much - considering that the side skirt will need to be re-joined. The quote is from a local body shop in Hounslow that has some good reviews on Google...

Hi all, I am trying to get hold of Clovertech in Dagenham. Lloyd fixed my 164 a few years back, I was very happy with the work he did. I am trying to contact him to help me with my spider. The number I have (0208 9847220, 0208 4707809) appear out of service. His website is also down. Do you know...

Hi all, I am looking for peoples opinions/reviews of Ascari tuning, as I am looking to get an exhaust fitted with them. Cheers

Hi All, I've recently purchased the multiplexed version of the MultiECUScan software- it means no adaptors (except for early 3pins). I've tried it on my 156, and it worked fine. I also tried it on my Brera, but doesn't seem to connect; now this could be because of the fault - Vehicle...

Any recommendations.. gratefully accepted Rear quarter panel needs a respray for the car to be perfect.... Getting some quotes right now...wildly different !! From £264 to over £1000... I want a good job done but the top quote is way too much.. Thanks in advance...

Just bought a 2010 SW with 75k. Its first cambelt was at 44k, Feb 2015 by the aforementioned London garage. The cambelt then snapped at 73k in Oct last year, leaving the owner with a massive bill. The repair job was done by the SAME garage as the first change in ’15. When I picked the car...

Hi Guys, The time has come to do some big jobs done on my 147 Lusso. The car is leaking oil from in between the gearbox & engine so seals & clutch need replacing. Also need a timing belt change done on the car since its hit 100k. The jobs are quite big and because of their nature, in my...

Basically I have a giulietta 1.4 Veloce multiair 2011. I bought the car the way it I will explain below. The only thing I fixed is I replaced the weak (non agm or efb) battery with a brand new EFB battery to make it compatible with the start and stop feature on the car. But even after replacing...

Well, no amount of banging the drivers side door is going to fix the now dead motor. So - PH1 spider car, 2 wire motor complete regulator needed...anyone have on in London or western side for sale. I really need it soon as I'm away in the car on Wednesday! thanks in advance! cheers

Hello, I'm Peter and I've just joined. I'm a bit promiscuous around cars and have several (non-Italian) but in my Alfa stable, for the moment, I have a 156 GTA and Series 4 Spider Veloce (auto). The 156 is a very rare RHD Selespeed version, while the Spider is a LHD. In prospect, I've...

Hi all, Please remove if not allowed, or move to the right location. I did read the private sellers rules and it looks like I should post in this thread as it's an Oil spec directly related to all Giulietta's, Mito's, 4C etc... Halfords is selling the exact same oil for: - 5L = £47.99 - 1L =...
