Yeah, I was going to mention the exterior but photographs can hide stuff so wasn't sure whether to.

If the gearbox dosent go that will no doubt last another 120k.

Get the gearbox fluid changed and a new filter.

It has the zf box .. is it a known issue Mark ? I know the ecu can be iffy (heater matrix leaks and kills the ecu) but not read anything about other issues

Honestly havent got a clue, but i have always reasoned that 200 quid servicing auto boxes beats 1500 for a recon one.

Think of it this way, you wouldnt leave your engine 10 years and 120k without a service would you.

Soon as i buy an auto, any auto with 60k miles or more i do the box.

Looks lovely inside too by the way, embossed seats too

You can get this much car for £900!!

Wow... Not going to be cheap to keep, as everyone said, but my gosh it's gorgeous, a lot of kudos there!

the selespeed boxes the dodgy ones in these?

Dogbreath · 3 Oct 2010 at 11:26

I couldn't use that as a bangernomics car and just drive it into the ground though, I'd have to spend money keeping it nice.

Well thankfully they never put the sillyspeed in the 166 . But if yer looking at other alfas there best avoided .

And Dogbreath .. yup i feel the same way . Already planning to polybush the suspension (its feeling a little loose) . ordered a new maf .. gonna rewire the centre brakelight with leds and some other little tweaks . it is to nice to run into the ground .

I think poly bushing that will ruin the ride.

I tell you a quick story, few years ago i bought yet another Jag, just when poewerflex released the bushes for them.

Did the car,because it needed a refresh anyway, never heard so many noises plus a ruined ride. Changed them all back.

Now i know thats not a jag, but its still a comfy thing and its auto, its not a car thats going to benefit from a hard ride.

Of course i dont know what you like in cars but i would have a good think about poly bushes.

Bear in mind Alfa know a thing or two about suspension themselves.

What an absolute shed.
