Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / May 2008138,000
Just hit 138,000 and my 2nd MOT - no problems whatsoever, I thought I'd make a record to show idle googlers how a well maintained Alfa can keep plugging on! (last work was 2 replacement upper front wishbones due to ball joint wear and tear) '04 147 JTD 16V ps - if anyone wants a bargain, it's going soon as 4yrs are up.... > Just hit 138,000 and my 2nd MOT - no problems whatsoever, I thought I'd make > a record to show idle googlers how a well maintained Alfa can keep plugging [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > ps - if anyone wants a bargain, it's going soon as 4yrs are up.... Heh, that's not bad going. Maybe I should forward this to my fleet manager..... Just for the record, here are my higher mileage cars, either current mileage or when I sold them: Alfa 155 TSpark - 144,000 miles. Alfa 75 TSpark - 134,000 mile track slag. Still counting. Alfa 156 TSpark - 128,000 miles, never 'failed to proceed' :-D  SignatureSteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Ducati 750SS - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 Alfa 75 TSpark - Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE >Alfa 155 TSpark - 144,000 miles. >Alfa 75 TSpark - 134,000 mile track slag.

I'm already hitting the 60UKP pump credit card limits round here on just a 3/4 tank fill! :-( SignatureZ Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..

I don't know what you mean by £60 limit. In my student years, I worked in a petrol station and the delivery drivers (large JS lorries) used to frequently fill up and it cost them hundreds - we had no pump limits then (1998). >>> Alfa 155 TSpark - 144,000 miles. >>> Alfa 75 TSpark - 134,000 mile track slag.

Pay at pump [1]. Until recently it was £60 at nearly all the stations I use, now they go £80. [1] Fantastic idea, esp on the bike.
