URGENT: Alfa Specialist required in Torbay

[Kev Bassett 1]

The car failed again, car not sparking awaiting recovery in union square car park.

 

Any Alfa specialists able to repair my car 2moz.

 

Getting desperate as the car is needed to take us home Friday.

SMAKKKKKYYYYYYY

 

Or is he still on tour?

[Kev Bassett 1]

It's a crank sensor, spoke to Cloverleaf garage in Gloucester.

Recovery arriving @ around 9am 2moz and to be towed straight to the garage.

 

Just over £100 repair bill.

The Alfa Stays!

Bummer!

Hope Pete sorts it...

[Kev Bassett 1]

When I said the symptoms straight away he said cam sensor, and ok labour charge for 1 hour is a lil steep but at least it's going to a specialists!

 

The recovery bloke said yesterday my Spark plugs are in good nick so I won't change those!

Good news Kev. that's a cost you can live with

[Kev Bassett 1]

In garage @ Paignton, quoted 6 hours work to change the Cam Positioning sensor....

 

Err Cloverleaf quoted 1 hours work.

 

Someone help me out?

Sounds like a "thanks, but no thanks" ad then let Pet have a look.

Or, you could shout "HELP!!!" and see if Smaky can sort it?

HELP!!!!!! Car runs and plan to take it back on M5, keeping below 3,000rpm so around 65mph!

 

I can't see why it won't it made it down here.

 

If it does need cam, Variator drive belt etc then I'd rather Pete do the work than a non Alfa specialist.

Glad she made it!

Now the trouble really starts!

£590 + VAT

 

Phase sensor + cambelt + Variator!

 

Outward the cost of the car as I paid £475.

It's not worth it so it!

Bloody hell! .... by the time you've stuck VAT on that you're talking £700, near as damn it.

Bye bye 156......

Buy a replacement engine for just over £1k!

 

Unfortunately this means the end of the 156, and end of Alfa's for a while!
