Anybody know where the best place to get polyurethane bushes for a alfa 90 near dandenong without paying gold prices? Tried at Repco and Supercheap but their listing doesnt go down to 1986.:dknow

Hi Everyone I have fallen in love with a 2004 model Alfa 147 selespeed, which has done 43000km's, the original dealer price was $28,990 and i have gotten him down to $24000. I absolutely love the car but i keep hearing things about how unreliable they are and that they are prone to breaking down...

Does anyone know if $1500 is a good price for a 60k service on an 04 manual 147. My brother in law was quoted this through a stealership, he's a little miffed. Also if he has a fixed price servicing contract then should it cover this service as well?

Alfisti, as a prior owner of a number of Alfas (33 4x4, 1.5 Ti Sud, 1.5 Ti Sud Green Glover, 1.7 Sprint Green Glover), I was very interested to try the new Alfas to see if they had managed to get out of the "almost" trap. So here are my findings from testing 159 3.2 V6 Q4, Brera 2.2, Brera...

Hi everyone, i just wanted to know if anyone owns an Alfa Sprint, because i haven't seen one in ages!! they are fantastic cars (if they have been looked after of coarse) So, if you do, hi this thread up with pics and a story of your Sprint. Thanx, Nathan

Hey Guys. First post on here, unfortunately not a good one. Mums been driving my 156 selespeed for a while now since i've got the beema and don't have a chance to drive the alfa so much anymore. She has told me that the transmition warning light has been coming on every so often, but last night...

Hey guys Just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to look for as issues in circa-2002 147's? I am halfway thinking about ditching the astra for one, as they are starting to come down in price more. From readings here and beyond, selespeed problems seem to be the big-ticket item, as...

Hi guys, Im looking at buying an Alfa 90 - just wanting to know are there any issues with rust?? I know Alfa are prone to it - but i heard from 1986 this shouldnt be an issue as they used galvanised steel? If anyone could let me know ASAP! Thanks. Rob

Hello, Every Alfa owner knows that they must change their cam and balance shaft belts every 60k Kms. There is a cam timing kit available to set the timing of both 2.0ltr TS and JTS engines. Sealey VS4910 : Petrol Engine Twin Cam Setting Plate Kit - Alfa Romeo Sealey VS1404 : TDC Position...

Has anyone had problems with the sunroof not working on a Alfa 147 2002year model? Fuses are ok and it is getting power. I suspect the circuit board on the motor as the motor works fine.

Hello I've just bought a 156 JTS (I'll post some pics in the next day or so). A warning light has come on and stays on when driving - the symbol of the engine meaning a 'Motor Control System (EOBD) failure according to the book. It appears to drive normally though. It doesn't falsh, simply...

Anyone know any australian companies that may have windscreen sseals available for a 1976 alfetta sedan other than scotts or spectrum.

Heyaz, Just wanted to ask a couple of questions about second hand Alfa's in general. My old car got written off (i was stopped at some lights and someone ran into me), so i'm looking for a good replacement. I've always liked Alfa's, have known a few people that have them, but have heard so...

I have decided not to try and sell my old 1987 Alfa 33 and instead, strip all the excess weight out of it, install some race buckets and a set of harnesses. One guess where this car is heading... My question being, has anyone here worked an Alfa 33 for track and or hill climb purposes? ...

Just wondering cause I have a sud and I am thinking of selling it but i dont know what a resonable price to ask is! It is in really good condition with no rust!!

Has anyone had the airbag light on in a 156? I just had the brake booster fixed in my car, and when the dash got all put back together, the airbag light is on! Took it to a mechanic with diag, and the computer couldn't communicate with the airbag system. He said if there is power getting to it,...

Now before anyone flames me for opening a similar thread this is a thread to list all the issues you've had or have heard of people who own V6 GTV's. I've owned a 944 S2 and currently own a Gen 2 SW20 MR2. Both cars I bought on what I thought was good information that the cars were reliable and...

Alfa I saw this ad a few days ago and i find myself thinking about it a bit. I've never owned an alfa, i've heard horror stories, does anybody here own one? have any experience with them?
