General Discussion / Infotainment system to 2013 Gi...

Last post by euston53 - April 07, 2024, 05:40:19 AM

I have a 2013 Giuletta QV and I want to replace the radio/CD player with a multimedia system, something similar to the ones that came in the newer models. My question is, is it possible in a car of this vintage, would I need to replace the dashboard and is there anyone in Melbourne who does this?

Buy/Swap/Sell [Announce ONLY] / 1972 Spider

Last post by NSharpley - April 05, 2024, 11:25:35 AM

1972 Alfa Spider

Seeking expressions of interest

The good:
•   The body and paintwork are in very good condition
•   New tyres
•   New battery
•   New heater tap (aluminium, Classic Alfa)
•   She starts, she runs, she drives
•   New clutch slave
•   Dash is in excellent condition
•   Everything works, lights, heater fan, wipers, etc.
•   Boot carpet like new
•   New left (passenger) window regulator (Classic Alfa)

The bad:
•   The soft top has a couple of tears.  Replacement can be purchased from Classic Alfa for $900. 
•   Front passenger seat has damage – Classic Alfa $273
•   The console is fair, no major damage but it is missing the ashtray and the heater slider facia panel (Classic Alfa $106)
•   One notable rust spot.    The floor, dual layer in parts has rusted through on the underside only, not inside the car.   
•   There is a "but" on the paintwork comment above.   There is damage above the left wheel arch.   Shown in photos
•   The dash, whilst it is in great condition, has no glovebox.    I assume a dash restore has occurred at some point and the glovebox was covered over.   
The car has the "inienzione" badge on the back but has carbs under the bonnet
Has RamFlo air filters but also comes with box of spares including original airbox and filter housing.
Everything shown in photos.

If you'd like to discuss ... send me a message on 0448 769 678

Delivery of the vehicle to the new buyer may be possible depending on location and final agreed price.

Does anyone have any suggestions to where I might locate one of the above please, as the braided cables on mine have broken? New would be perfect, but good condition 2nd hand OK also. Prepared to source overseas if necessary.
Many thanks.

Victoria / Brake Rotors/Pads suggestions ...

Last post by BuggyGTA - April 03, 2024, 06:30:51 PM

Hi Guys,

Im looking for a place to get the Front disc rotors and Brake pads done on my gulia quadrifoglio, I got quoted from the alfa dealership between 4 to 5k which sounds very expensive..
Does anyone know a better place i can get them replaced, or even different brand rotors/pads that work well with the car?

Hi Guys, the link on the first post of this thread is supposed to be a list of Club sponsors. That's not what opens up when I click on the links.
It turns out to be a membership application form.
Im looking for an independent Alfa specialist in the Doncaster area. I have a Giulietta I would like to have a pre-purchase inspection carried out on, and the owner doesn't want to go very far from home.

Cheers
Rob

Try Benincas at Surrey Hills. Superb

Interesting idea MD. I have put a ball valve inline in the engine bay already; wouldn't be hard to change it to this type of controller. Running the cable might be tricky though. I would want to keep it operating via the original control knob on the heater box. Need to have a look under the dash and see what the space is like.

Other options are move up MD's way where you just don't need a heater or convert the system to a climate control system with no heater tap. The matrix is constantly fed coolant and airflow is controlled via a blend door. Or maybe not...

Last post by Cavtrav - March 29, 2024, 11:23:11 AM

My Alfetta has just returned from being 'tuned' and serviced. Listening to it I have decided I need a new mechanic, so does anyone have any ideas? Redlands area, south Brisbane or mobile would be great. Matter of some urgency as I won't drive it as is. Hoping you can help - thank you
