Hello all, I am interested to buy a 2010 Mito QV, it is an early phase model (July) with 150 000 km on the clock. It has some of the known issues such as the gearbox 1st and 2nd with hard changes and the active suspension shocks that are tired and finally the rocker cover gasket that leaks. I...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a second hand 2011 MiTo with the 135hp Multiair unit. Shortly after I took possession it started warning of ignition faults. I'd already booked a service, and the mechanic was able to read the faults as intermittent ignition failures on cylinders 1 & 4. As part...

I'm looking to buy a used MiTo soon and having test driven one (0.9 Twinair version) really liked it however am after the 135Bhp Multiair version.This would fit my needs better but unfortunately hard to find good ones near me so happy to wait.

Hi all. The cruise control on my 2014 1750 Giulietta seems to occasionally not engage. Typical scenario will be; cruise control is turned on all of the time, as in green dial is illuminated on display, but approximately 1 time in 10 when I go to push the lever up to engage, when driving at the...

Hi, Thanks for any help offered folks. So.... I did a service on my beloved Alfa a fortnight ago, including oi, oil filter and air filter, and everything went fine (the fuel filter was changed two years ago, about 15,000 miles, just to give some more info if needed). Then a week ago i had a...

I bought my new Giulia in August 2018 and I have found the forums most useful in informing me about various aspects of owning a Giulia. In summary they are: 1. The alarm can go off unexpectedly. This has happened on 4 occasions and I will get this fixed at my first service. There is a fix...

Hi all, looking at joining you all with my first Alfa. Have today test driven a 147 2.0 T.Spark Business Pro - Absolutely loved it! Its from 2009 2 owners and only 65000 km (about 40000 miles) on the clock. I've had the history checked and verified so have no problem with that. The 2nd owner...

Hi all Looking to buy a 166 but been warned that rust may be a potential issue? The car I’m looking at has some rust on one of the front wings and small bit starting on the rear wheel arch seam area just above the sill where the arch meets the body of the car, is there likely to be anything...

Hi All Mrs V, much taken with my Alfa and the giving/receiving of the alfa wave while out and about, is considering a car change herself and has had her head turned by the look of a MiTo, particularly a 2013 0.9 Live that she's spotted. She doesn't use her car much, perhaps a dozen times a...

Hi everyone, I've just reserved an Alfa Giulietta to hopefully view next week. It will be my first Alfa and I am a little excited about going to see it. I hope its a better car than the current merc I have!

After a few years without an Alfa I want another, this time a 159 or maybe even GT but want at least 200bhp. Have never owned a diesel before, but Im really considering it. The 2.4 jdtm would be ideal and want to know how much I should expect to pay for a decent one, the above 2.4 engine and...
