I too have owned a Alfa ,I had a 164 v6 lusso which we loved ,until the cam belt change came around and was quoted £1100 from indy !! Traded it in then lol. While we owned it ,was great fun to drive . I'm a bit odd with cars only buy them if I like the look regardless of their age. I've owned 2...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that emergency services cross red lights or double white lines at their own risk .if I remember correctly a fire engine jumped the the lights and whilst not involved in accident did cause one and driver got prosecuted. On a funny side of that I saw a very...

My un merc is our other car it is a very clean astra cabriolet 2.2. So what have I done? You might want to have a laugh at my expense . Came home with hood down wind in my bald patch and parked outside . Had a brief conversation with neighbour about why she would not have ragtop as she would be...

Having had 270 clk for 3 years I decide it was time to try to get folding mirrors working . They adjust the glass but dont always fold. The symptom is passenger mirror was loose but randomly is now locked in position and sometimes folds completely and opens but not always. It will close and only...

The only problem with the battery scenario is the eco damage in producing them and disposal , I assume some can be recycled .I have seen on ebay cars sold minus battery at an unreasonable price not sure how you would get a new battery though ?? If you have to lease battery too it increases...

I work for caravan company and we use Specialised Covers . They also make covers for Rolls Royce etc . Not cheap but quality good. Some pointers though vehicles are designed to be outside and a good polish helps keep crud from sticking . A cover , regardless of claims, may cause abrasion on...

Body shop plastic welding if you have all the bits. I repaired mine with gutter tape , was a straight break 2 years ago and still ok. It was only a temporary fix that clearly worked ok . Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I had similar problem a few years ago with a Peugeot 406 coupe that was mint . Rear exhaust box broke off and went through plastic bumper .A major chain of bodywork repairs wanted to write car off as they would not guarantee paint match as it was pearlecent paint. The assessor could not believe...
