Actually there have been some pretty average Alfas over the past 20 years. Its a brand that rests mostly on its heritage, without delivering much of substance or excitement any more. Phew luckily ours are all over 20 years old! I have to agree with you though- we don't like the modern Alfas much eit...

I have to admit Alfa156 selespeeds do have a bit of a reputation -the word from an expert alfa serviceman is they must be serviced and recalibrated every 6 mths ( or 3mths if you drive demandingly!) I guess this could well apply to other vehicles with selespeeds too...very rarely to you get somethin...

Goodness me how can anyone let such a poor piece of writing out the door
doesn't anyone use their spell-checker!

Maidstone Panel & Paint 04 9396145 ask for the owner Grant Haven't tried this bloke ourselves but have seen some of his work...an Alfisti (Alfa Freak) friend of ours uses him... He is Stuart Chandler from South Pacific Tyres You can mention his name and say he referred you! Cheers Joan Hilder (Paekak)

pics of your job too I would be most grateful.

Yep often its the switch end..if Mazdas are like Alfas they will have a slack switching system prone to wear out...can be fixed rather than replaced by anyone who knows what they are doing and a few simple hand tools ( not me but Graham ;-) But if the spray cleaner does the job all the better! Cheer...

Indeed a very bad show Bill and makes me very reluctant to take my MX5 into
the big city (I'm a Kapiti Coaster!)
I wonder who you are insured with though as usually if its your first claim
for the period you should only lose a step of your NCB
Cheers Joan

Great Keith, sounds like I shouldn't really have too much of a problem then
being a mere 5'3"!

Thanks for that..have printed it out and will have a read!

Thinking of buying a second-hand homologated roll-bar which is currently up for sale, so I can use the MX5 on the occasional track-event. In discussing the item with the seller, he mentions the matter of the height. The MANZ regs require there to be a certain minimum clearance between the bar and th...

No, not the Monty - that debuted at the Montreal World Fair 1967. Now if you want to see one of these cars driven in anger, there is one racing in New Zealand (well it will be once the repairs are completed from the last race crash!) It is bright green and was brought over from UK by returning NZer ...

Ah ha well ours does chirp when you are near so perhaps we have the good oil
anyway!

We're with AMI and while I think they asked if it had an alarm that was all
they wanted to know...as to what kind...they didn't seem to care ... I
wouldn't have a clue as to what kind it is either

Hi there Daniel, There are 2 sorts of racing licences generally available, the first is for dual sprints and can just be applied for and off course you will need to hand over many dollars. For a full racing licence you do need to sit a test. If you have not done any racing I would recommend you star...

Nice to hear some info on "Fix a flat" from someone in the trade; especially the bit about a surcharge to clean it out when you take it to the tyre shop! Like Lou my question remains..what do you do with the flat tyre after you change it for the spare..it won't fit under the car will it nor in the b...
