Alfa 147

[mat13]

Well i bought a mg f wanting a bit of fun for the summer but really couldnt get on with the driving position, i was getting out of it in spasm after driving it for anything longer than an hour. So i went car shopping this morning and put a deposit on this, cannot wait to pick it up next week ive had a thing for these since school. Its only a 1.6 but it should let me save a few extra pennys a week into the tvr fund. Also i never realised how nice these were inside, the tan leather is beautifull and the drivers seat is a really nice place to be.

Cheers, i couldnt get over how nice it was inside, just a shame i couldnt get a black one with the red leather.

Lovely car and in Gabbiano Blue as well, excellent taste, sir.

When were the belts and tensioners last done.

[mat13]

had a new engine 10000 miles ago an had cambelt an tensioners done then, think i might do them myself soon though just for peace of mind.

Alfa changed their recommendations for belt/tensioner changes on petrol engines from 5yrs/72,000 miles to 3yrs/36,000 miles, the trouble is that a lot of people don't know that and it'll be the old schedule in the manual.

Sorry if that's teaching you to suck eggs, but it's always worth mentioning, just in case.
