Guys I have my new toy and I'm loving it. BUT Looking through here it seems there's more issues than I ever expected and I'm getting to the point that every little bang pop squeak or rattle is scaring the life out of me with my wallet quietly crying in my back pocket! Is there a definitive list...

Hi All, I'm new here at AO. I owned a 1978(?) T Reg Guillieta from 1985-1987 loved it, but the cost to replace the clutch at that time was mega, think the gearbox was right on the back axel or something, any way sold it to a mate who still has it, but it hasn't turned a wheel for 10 years. Any...

Hi All, I have been reading alot of threads over the last few weeks about all the problems, chips, etc with the Mito. I have decided to shut all of these in a little box and go with my heart. As soon as i saw the Mito i knew it was the one for me. I have bought the Mito Multi Air 1.4 135bhp...

Ok so I'm looking for a new car, heart says alfa spider 2.4 head says golf gti dsg. I was put off by the crap mpgs I got on the test drive but lots on here about that and seems a simple £600 mod to fix. Only thing has anyone had an MOT since having that. Did it pass? I was then dead set on...

hello everyone i assemble turbos for a living, and people seem scared of them and allways expect them to go bang. i hope by typing this up it will maybe put some minds at ease! the most important thing is to change your oil and filter regular, as thick gloopy oil cannot get through oilways and...

There is a fair amount of rust coming through around the offside rear wheel arch on my GTV. At the worst place just at the back of the arch the paint has bubbled up completely and after some prodding around I have found the rust is all the way through in a small area. I could probably punch a...

Every so often the do not pass go do not collect £200 go directly to your main dealer so they can have your pants down warning comes up on the dash for no obvious reason. After a few times starting the car and driving it the warning goes away. Well it happened yesterday so thats it straight on...

My first introduction to Alfa Romeo's was when my dad basically forced me to help him remove the broken gearbox out of our white Guillietta (116) after he broke it while racing a Golf mk2 GTi - we obviously know the outcome. Let me tell you, anyone that can remove a gearbox coupled to a DE DION...
