I'm thinking all this bargain hunting may actually be a good thing for the Alfa Specialist workshops, because once the cars have been butchered, where do you reckon they end up?

At the Alfa Specialist, with much more expensive problems to fix.

Too true......many a story of Alfa owner woe is due to poor servicing by someone who has no bl..dy idea what they're doing....

Yep, cheap Alfa servicing? It really makes a difference to finding an Alfa with proper servicing history, or its owner having some idea of right and wrong. Here's what I found after giving my daughter's 147 a once over. Either previous owner was inept or was getting gouged by an indi mechanic, probably both? What's not visible is that two of the spark plug wells had their own supply of engine oil from a petrified and siliconed cam cover gasket ??? Still finding little niggles and patch ups from the previous owner, bonehead  >:(
