Andrew 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone, I've just come across from the dark side. I hear it's much better over here Some kind person nudged me in this direction telling me Smacky can be found here. I drive a 147 Q2 - a cracking little thing it is too, however I've not had the best of luck with it in my 11 months of ownership, it's 5 years old now and has done nearly 130k. All of the failures are fairly common things as far as I have read. However I wouldn't want to give it up and go back to a boring VAG based car really. It's had me a couple of free days off work for example. Here is a recent picture, it think it's a pretty good looking car: Edited February 8, 2013 by Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan 46 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 Welcome to AlfaDriver, Andrew. You heard right, Smaky can be found here - he's usually lurking in the technical section. Have a look for the problems you've got in existing threads, and if you can't find 'em there, start your own thread. As for 2nd hand Alfa parts, try these guys. http://autolusso.co.uk/parts/used-alfa-parts.html If it's not listed in their online shop, give them a ring. They are generally breaking anywhere between 5 and 10 Alfas at any one time, so they might have the part you need somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
