Afternoon all. On the assumption, my boy passes his GCSE's I have promised driving lessons. What would be a suitable first Alfa for a 17-year-old -as in cheap to run, tax and most importantly insure? Looked at 1.2d MiTo and 1.4 MiTo but he would prefer something more classic that he can learn...

I had a busy day and the cabbage appointed to act as my brain is confused by my road tax reminder (I know it’s not called that.) For six month tax, I can pay £140.25. For six months tax, one off payment, I can pay £133.88. Both will be a one off payment so why the discrepancy? (I know it’s...

So, I am going to be ordering a MY2019 spec Veloce this week and now have a decision to make. To keep under the £40k VED limit on the tax and not cost myself an extra £310 per year I am limited in the extras spec I can go for. With the first year's tax not included in the £40k limit and with a...

I finally ordered a cheap Pro Kit from the EU. I did so today because I remember something about Brexit is meant to make things more expensive from August. Does anyone know about this? Anyway, I paid £140 to Squadra Sportiva (shop.Alfisiti). Then I looked about. The Pro Kit is £116 on...

Hi any of you been following the debate over the proposed additional £1000 pound a year tax on all diesels. This after spending the last 10 years trying to get us all into them from petrol cars :furious::furious::furious: Like tohear a few thoughts .

Just been looking at the vehicle tax changes that kick in from 1st April. I hadn't come across this until today so it's come as a bit of a shock. Here's an article in the mirror that should help spell it out. Suffice it to say anyone thinking of waiting for a '17 plate like me might want to now...

You’ll probably be aware that the former Chancellor (in November 2015's budget) levied a second increase in Insurance Premium Tax on unsuspecting motorists, bringing the duty up a further half a percent to a ‘nice’ round 10%. This following another recent increase from 6% to 9.5%. The new 10%...

Hi guys My first foray into Alfa was a 2004 diesel GT. I replaced that with another diesel GT and now have a 09 159 Ti 2.0 Jtdm. I also have a nice little 98 TS Spider. Anyway, circumstances may be changing where I won't need a car to commute. And I've always kinda regretted getting rid of the...

Hi all I've just rec'd letter from the DVLA saying my new Giuli needs to be taxed from 30th November. I was told there was no tax in the first year - the car is registered 31st December. So is the DVLA ripping me off? Or does the fact my car was registered for 1 day in December mean I lose a...

The Alfa actually passed its MOT on the 12th of Aug. Unfortunately a few days later I received a letter from the DVLA enforcement centre asking...

Maybe slightly sad but I was reading about this company Tax Disc - Order Form so I've bitten the bullet and ordered a period correct slighly aged tax disk for my S4 Spider. They have all the car details on file so issuing office, cost and even the supplying dealer. Really nice people to deal...

I've a January 2008 2.4 Qtronic 159 which is showing on the V5 as being 210BHP but according to the panel inside the driver's door is actually 200BHP. I've seen on the forum that the 2.4 QTronics are, in fact, 200BHP (something to do with Turbo). Anyways, because my 159 comes up as a 210 on the...
