Hiya guys and girls, I am one of those annoying people who pop in and ask dumb questions about V6 Alfa engines. In an tempt to redeem myself a little I want to say that have owned Italian motorcycles since 1985, I have owned an Alfa before, (147 2 litre) and I currently own a couple of Italian...

After 18 months of Hell with 2 Jaguar FPaces 2nd rejecting next week. I have decided to give Alfa a chance. I had a GTV many years ago and loved the car. Test drove the 2.0D it was fast must faster than my 2.O D Fpace I found the experience was like driving a sports car. The tech isn't as good...

Hi all, Great site here thought i'd say hello and introduce myself. My names Paul from Surrey and i came close to buying an Alfa 147 back in 2013 but it didn't come off. I have never owned an Alfa but due to a work colleague, who has been planting the seed for a while LOL, i have finally...

Hi folks, Been on and off this forum lots over the past 5 years and it has often saved my sanity when 'her' Spider decides to come over all Italian! Seen lots of comments about flat spots etc, often down to MAF issues. Her car has been modified at some point in the past, the air cleaner system...

My beloved GTV TS failed its MOT today, nothing too major and all easily fixed by my mechanic friend but it needs new exhaust. Rear box is actually coming away at weld and there's a leak at the front. Sooo looks like I need a whole exhaust but the prices are a bit beyond my pocket at the moment...

I am after a car based pick up for a work vehicle. I am not talking about the Ford Ranger (which we have now), the Mitsubishi L200 or the Toyota Hilux type vehicles, these are too big for our needs. We need a small car sized pick up. VW/Skoda used to do one based on the Fabia but dont appear to...

Hi guys, yesterday on the school run my 156 jtd 1.9 started playing up. When pulling out of a junction it just wasn't moving, accelerator down flat and the car started stuttering and seemed to take forever to pick up, changed to second and a little better but still no really moving untill...

Hi to all, I joined the AO forum last week after browsing for a while and before I had put the deposit down on my first Alfa. I should pick up the car tomorrow a 54 plate 156SW 2.4 JTD. It's going to be quite a change after having BMW's for the last 14 years. Ive not had anything with less...

Hi guys test drove the q2 yesterday and was impressed by the road handling and pick up however i noticed a slight vibration through the steering wheel at idle (i assumed normal for a diesel) but also a vibration through the steering wheel when accelerating hard. I didnt feel anything when...

Hi guys Picked up my 2010 Alfa red Mito Lusso 135 today. She looks wicked and drives great. People who drive boring cars (almost every other make) do not know what they are missing. That used to be me until I came to my senses. :D On the way to work, I noticed people stopping, staring and even...

Hi Guys/ Girls. Instead of sleeping I have just managed to get my account verified here a mere few hours before I embark on a 5 hour journey to pick up GTV Cup no 82. So if anybody is around, is this car known and am I picking up a good car or a known lemon? Thanks and I hope to be a proud...

I have owned 4 different Alfa petrol engines, 1.8 TS, 2.5 V6, 2.2 GM and currently running a 3.2 GM V6, I must admit...... I'm really missing my old Busso V6 :cry: Although the Brera V6 is slightly quicker than the 2.5, it's missing it's special factor, I have always wished I had owned a 156...

I can't wait but ... It's an automatic the 2.5l - it's not just as rapid as I thought it should be - it's going to my mechanic for a service as soon as I get it, what should I tell him to look for? Thanks
