Alfa Diesels and Reliability
Discussion
Sorry for (probably) dredging this up.
I am looking for a replacement daily driver, and I've always fancied a 156 wagon, on paper the diesels sound good, but whenever I mention it to people you get the sucking through teeth noise...
These are the same people who told me my TVR would always break down, but in the 3.5 years I owned it, it only once failed to get me home (and that was a rad hose).
Thing is, the TVR was 'the other car' the alfa will be my daily hack, and will need to do about 20,000 miles a year, and it will have to start every morning.
So is it a reasonable prospect????
Cheers Cptn A
