After my (just about), first year of ownership of my Spider (having spent MUCH
money on it in that period, (you can probably guess which things needed doing), it has just passed the MOT with only a few - what I believe are fairly minor front suspension issues. (Bushes I think the man said,although I haven't seen the paperwork yet as its still at the garage).So thats the good news..
The bad news is,is that having told my local Alfa people that the car makes a horrible screeching/rattling noise when cold,they tell me the clutch needs replacing and also because of an occaisional crunch when changing up to 5th gear,the gearbox needs to come out and it needs synchromesh sorting.The price? probably about 800 of yer english £
Think that takes the cost of ownership (not incl. tax insurance etc) to about 6k and I've done about 2500 miles for that!
Still, ya gotta love 'em though eh?
