Hi all, if anyones interested I'm thinking about novating my lease on a 2017 50th Anniversary edition Spider in Madreperla white; currently at 6,000 miles with an allowance of 10,000 per annum and lease runs until 24/06/19 ONLY £323.35/month!

I've given first refusal to another member but PM or email me at [e-mail] if you're interested.

Bargain but why would you give it up! I already have one but otherwise I’d snap your hand off!

I know! Trust me it’s a difficult decision, my other half’s from Canada and doesn’t like going fast on our small twisty roads! It just doesn’t get used as it should but I’ll only let it go if someone comes along and make it an easy process.

For you I hope no one comes along . Now production is over they will become special cars. I took mine out today , sun out so why not , so many looks to make it annoying but get away and find some car free roads with bends , it’s just such a special place to sit , found a couple of tunnels , the noise , who the fk need a Ferrari , ok I’ll take an Aston v 12 over the Alfa but I can’t afford one but just maybe the Alfa’s prettier so I’m happy

Mine is making an awful creaking/rubbing noise from the drivers front suspension. If it gets worse early this week then I'm phoning alfacare to get it recovered.
Mine is booked in for Friday at Mango....I just hope that they sort it all and don't have me going back an forth: it's about a 90 mile round trip for me.

Has anyone experienced a rattle at low speed? I can hear it behind my right ear. Anyone had issues with the boot not opening?

Mine is all over the road too. Sales guy said it would settle in. It didn't.
The one I test drove handled so much better.
Mine feels like it's crabbing. I've asked mango to look at it, but I honestly don't know what to expect.

Did you get the issues resolved ?

Just returned from my diagnosis at Alfa, can’t say it was all that successful.

All I have had confirmed by them is that I was correct...I do have a noise.

Waited 3 weeks for 30 seconds of master tech time - didn’t even bother going out for a drive because as I reversed out of the space it was as loud as ever.

Now they need permission from Alfa to book me in and fully diagnose it, and then get permission again to be able to fix it after providing them with details etc.

Ahh, the sheer joy of dealing with the Alfa dealer network.

Creaking from the front suspension is the nearly always the lower arms. Several cars have had this problem and the arms replaced under warranty. You'll find it tramlines much worse with the arm knackered. it will feel like a different car when its replaced.

Regarding the boot not opening, adjust the bump stops on the bootlid and this should solve that issue.

Just driven from Derby to Newquay in mine now on 6k miles and it has just started to creak for the first time!

Possibly. You'll only know once you take it in. Worst case scenario the arms are Around 370 for the right arm and 300 for the left. plus fitting which takes an hour max.
