patience

On Friday it broke down again. It had been running seemingly fine, temp gauge normal, fresh from MOT and service. I had also checked over things like coolant level, brake fluid etc last weekend. On the way home from work, it conked out, losing all power. The only warning light was the...

HI all, My GT 3.2 has the standard exhaust currently fitted, but I know there are better options more 'in tune' with the Busso engine's aural delight. (I had a Scorpion back box on my last GT which was definitely better). Whilst I have read a lot on here about Wizard exhausts I have also...

After 7 years of trouble free motoring in my trusty 147, I opted for a Brera and o Boy do I regret it now! I bought the 56 reg Brera with 40tho on the clock and a full S/H so I thought I couldnt be going too far wrong. Its just not the car that the 147 was :((( Ive been forced to spend on...

*beware small rant* Cars been in since last thursday at autoworld chesterfield with a squeek ive had on rear end for a while now got a phone call today about the car, hoping it was done... but no, they are still waiting for alfa technical to get back to them about it.. so im still none the...

So my car is back and running better than ever, its line a new car (excluding the heave clutch and suspension bushes that are on there way out :lol:). BUT and this is why I think its starting to test my patience, there always seems to be a but! The cruise control is now not working. It has a...

My car has broken down again and is unfortunately living up the stories of Alfa reliability. At least the turbo has gone in my Dads BMW to stop him being smug when the inevitable ‘I told you so’ line arrives! The first thing I did was check on here for advice, but there wasn’t anything...

With all the gip i've had recently, the alternator bearing now decides to fall over. My patience wears thin. How do i tell which of the two types i need without taking it off? I have to take the gearbox off again so its a double whammy jobby day! Please help. Or i'm going back to bmw!!! :)

I'm seriously contemplating the idea of getting a Brera (currently driving a 147 1.6)... My "dilema" is this: I'd be looking for a 2.2 (can't really justify the 3.2 economically, and don't want a diesel :p ) Budget wise (£12-£13k), I figure I'll be looking at something in the realms of an 06...

I was meant to be going to Brooklands and a local classic car show on Hayling Island where I live? I bought 3 tickets for Brookie - and didn't go, neither did my friends go Whatever you do you guys and girls - don't let family do your car mechanics. It's my brother-in-law. He's a bloody...

The belief to have a cool head & the patience of a saint when it all goes wrong...... Fantastic. got my car back from the garage on Saturday after trying to work out this engine light business, my dealer mechanic showed me the data logger that he'd stuck on the car over the week. No errors...

Hello all, Having read lots of the conversations over the past weeks decided it was finally time to say hello as i take delivery tomorrow (hopefully!) of my new 147 Ti jtdm. I simply cant wait, i'll be sure to post pics as soon as i can tear myself away!

Dear All... After years of excrutiating pain and watching how time goes by, without one of my most desirable objects since late 1997, the wait is finally over. Project was started in late 1997. :) Years and kilometres passed by, project was postponed from one year to another... but, two weeks...
