Hey all, I've been lurking for a while, read alot about the Alfa GT; thanks to you guys I knew what to look out for when viewing a couple of cars locally. Purchased an '07 1.9 JTDM last week and really happy with him. Looking forward to freshening up with the necessary new badges, etc. This is...

Hi fine Alfa people. I have recently tried and failed to remove the crank damper pulley bolt which is seized up like a MF! My plan was to replace both belts and water pump and tensioners. In my desperation I am ashamed to say that I put a breaker bar onto the crank pulley bolt and turned the key...

Hi all, I'm Nick from Crawley in West Sussex. Just today purchased my first Alfa. It's a 2007 159 JTS Lusso wagon with only 70k on the clock. Had a nice long drive home and am so far very pleased with my choice. It's a long way from what I previously had in mind but it's quick, looks awesome and...

Hello everyone. Currently Im enjoying the Alfa GT 1.9 which is my first car. While I was searching for it, I happened to test drive tuned 147 1.9jtd 16v (same engine as mine). It had turbo from 2.4 engine, from mounted intercooler, sports exhaust system, and it was remapped. That thing was great...

Hello all, I am Dave and a long time viewer first time poster..... Just bought my Alfa a 2006 Brera 3.2V6 smile machine. Only managed 50 miles in it so far but LOVING it. Although I had a family wagon 156 sport wagon a few years back it has nothing on this. Hopefully won't need to use the...

I'm thinking about saving up for a Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB, but have no idea about the ins and outs of replacing my standard head unit. Apologies for the noob questions but can someone please tell me what to look for in a new headunit? Namely: 1. Can you keep the steering wheel controls...

Hi everyone, I'm an old geezer hailing from Denmark, have had many Alfas over the years, started back in the day with a Bertone GTv 1750 from '69, rebuild to a 2,0. From then on there was nothing that could keep me away from being an "Alfa-head" :) Went on to buy a '74 born 2,0, later on a GTV...

Hey all, Just picked up my first alfa a few days ago, a peculiar green 147ts - my dad has been a convert for some time previously owning a 156 and now a 159 and launch edition 4c, apparently you aren't a true petrol head until you have owned one and always having enjoyed the interior of an alfa...

Well, it's been a long time coming! As a complete petrolhead I've rebuilt and modified a '71 Midget, an '89 205 GTi (2.0 16v) and also stray into motorbikes too ('97 Honda CBR600F). I have always loved Alfa's but have never owned or driven one. Now I'm the proud owner of a 2001 147 2.0 Lusso...

Evening all. I'm not long finished changing the upper wish bones on the wife's 147 with help from some of the threads on here, so it's only polite to say hello and thanks. She has had the alfa for about 18 months now and loves it. I'm not so smitten!:) It's a 2006 JTD lusso 8 valve job and it...
