My GTA is currently undergoing an extensive engine makeover, hoping to complete this over the winter months. First major job done today was cleaning of the aluminium cast parts. Opted for blasting as it has proved difficult to achieve a factory fresh cast finish with cleaning agents. Very...

Hi all, I've been having issues trying to get my Alfa Red paint sorted out - and after first raising it with Alfa last July, and paying for my own paint inspection (which they ignored), they finally carried out a paint inspection last week. I'm still waiting to hear back - and they've told me...

...which specialist would you take it to? Someone who is really good at pinpointing an issue, who thinks laterally, who investigates issues and knows (modern) Alfas inside-out? -- My 159 Ti has been back to the main dealer a couple of times and I've been sent away with no satisfaction. The...

While my 147 JTD Mjet was in the garage and I was given a Mito 1.6? TDM for the day (180 miles of Motorway, A and B roads, and town centre driving. Heres my 'opinion'. Both cars have 215/45 R17 shoes all round. The Mito feels as if it is the same size car as the 147. A good start. The...

"Rev" US slant but pretty good production values for a website programme.

I know that there are plenty of threads/posts about this snag, all of them with suggestions as to how to cure the fault. However, i've followed most of them to the letter ie " checked for blown number plate bulbs, checked the rev counter for blown diodes, stripped the rear light cluster out to...
