Hi, New to the forum, and not yet officially an Alfa owner... I'm planning on buying an Alfa GT JTD imminently, and am immensely looking forward to it. What are the key things I need to be looking out for? Would you say it's worth splashing out on an AA/RAC etc vehicle inspection? Does...

Hi chaps, Long time lurker first time poster. After many moons of longing I am now in the position to buy a 159. I have 2 burning questions. All feedback/advice welcome. 1) 1.9 vs 2.0 JTDM - Which one? (My price range would mean 1.9 with low miles, or 2.0 with mid milage) 2) My 'Local'...

Hello all, I'm joining the club as i'm looking for information and reviews on the GTA. I've had a look at a few reviews online and I like what I'm seeing. Also, I have spent a little while on YouTube, oh, the noise! My last car was an 8L Audi S3, but I'm looking for something a bit more...

So I been thinking, Other areas organise Breakfast Meets so I thought I'd have a go at it. How do people fancy a breakfast meet on the 4th Sunday or every month in Gloucester? The Sainsburys Cafe in Barnwood (where I have been training) the staff do a lovely Traditional Breakfast & a lovely...

Hi all. I am a (multiple :p ) Fiat Coupe owner who intends to buy a 916 Spider next week. I will keep the Coupes, but I just want a rag-top for the summer, and it HAS to be an Alfa :cool: . Three on my list - seen one already which did not impress me, but I have high hopes for Monday.... I know...

Hello! I'm looking to get into Alfa ownership - I've got a lotus but always fancied something that sounded a bit nicer... I've got my eye on a (modified) 3.0 GTV so could be an owner sooner rather than later.

Evening all, I remember posting on here just over two years when I was awaiting my new MiTo. Well the Alfa bug has well and truly hit, I am now considering a Guilietta. I wanted your advice all on selling my MiTo privately, is auto trader still the best bet or do prospective Alfa owners in NI...

Hi Guys Went to see one yesterday 2001 2.0TS in blue with red leather. Lovely looking car as you would expect, but a few things prevented me from taking the plunge. It has only 75k on the clock but there is no evidence of a cambelt change, the belt looks pretty new in my non-expert opinion and...

I've been having a trawl around the website (have to say - there's a lot more info on here than on many enthusiast sites, so well done on that front). Anyway, after a few years doing the whole VW thing (from '64 Splitscreen (mine) to a '94 Corrado (my wife's) and most things in between), it's...

I was looking at a 2005 54 plate 2.0l JTS saloon today with the intention of purchasing it and not being familiar with the facelift models unsure whether this car has a problem or not or how serious it might be. When I opened the drivers door, the trip meter / odometer light came on for a few...

This is my first post on this forum so please go easy with me. I'm seriously considering placing an order for a new mito. I've been round a couple of dealers to look at their cars, pick up a brochure/price list but not yet booked a test drive (I normally decide on a car based on looks, price...

Hi Names Chris, not had an Alfa for quite some time but looking to get a GTV in the near future. Just thought this might be the best place to find out the do's and don'ts. Always do a bit of research before purchase.

Hi folks, I feel a bit of a fraud, becuase I'm not actually an alfaowner yet. However, having finally got a bit of 'spare' cash together, and the prospect of a garage thanks to a move out of London, my aim is to get my hands on a Montreal within the next couple of years. So it seemed a good...
