trevb78 5 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 A quick update; After a week, I still love the car... Feels 'German' in build, but with character. If that makes sense! Only a couple of minor issues - boot light doesn't work (no power feeding it, so likely microswitch) and offside heated mirror not working.... Minor stuff!

MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 If that's the only problems you have, no problem! And wash your mouth out with the German comment! Oh, and did you know who does the electrics on Alfas? Yep, Bosch ... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Nah, no offence taken. But you don't normally get Alfa bashing on an Alfa forum! And comparing an Alfa to a german car, even favourably? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 oh no! that doesnt sound good ive caught a couple of the bastards round here, they are everywhere . theres 1 that has turned into a trnch just as you come off a roundabout near me and unless you know its there its hard to see and avoid as you are looking at the other traffic on the roundabout Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trevb78 5 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 The missus was driving as I had too many sherbets. I didn't see it at all! Not good for 19"s! I'm trying to claim from the council. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 thats a shame, im guessing its the wheel gone? good luck claiming off h council, its no use doing that round here as they dont pay out even though the roads are in a really bad state hope you can get it sorted quickly and cheap as possible whatever it is which needs to be repaired Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trevb78 5 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 It's defiantly bent the wheel a bit, think it's repairable... Hope it hasn't knocked more out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 fingers crossed for you a mate has recently had to have an alloy repaired (welded) on his GT and it was about £60 i think so not as bad as a new wheel. might be wrth getting everything checked out though just incase, im sure tyres on the 19's aren't cheap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
