Went to see it tonight (see the post earlier). Lovely car, excellent
condition inside and out - however, a couple of questions if I may:

Hi to all of you knowledgable Alfa enthusiasts.
I have bought some new front discs for my 1999 156 selespeed. There's only

Picked up my Spider (2.0 Lusso 2001) last weekend, only one problem with it,

month. Last year around this time, I had it serviced with the 12k

Now a year on it has done 10k miles and is due another service. My

I'm wondering if anyone can help me in a battle with Alfa Romeo UK. A
