Introduction
Purchased with 83,000 on the clock but mileage doesn't worry me as much as some. It's excellent condition inside and the bodywork as well. I intend to make this a keeper and use it regulary as I want to keep the mileage down on my other car, a slightly more expensive Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Jobs I am going to do regardless of whether needed, but probably are:
Drivers seat bolster and covering ripped, needs replacing --- Done, see here: Seat repair
OSF DRL stone damaged --- S/H DRL sourced, waiting on plastic screws, will replace this weekend - done.
Replace DMF, clutch, release bearing, crank seal --- booked in to the Alfa Workshop in 2 weeks time.
Timing chain --- will do this myself, just need some summer weather first, couple of months?
Sump guard --- held on by 4 bolts & 2 tie wraps. 2 bolts sheared removing them. Need to scratch head and decide whether to go through the hassle of drilling out the old bolts or trying to drill and tap but as they are only M6 there is not a lot to work with. Might end up leaving it off...
EGR replacement --- will most probably fit a new one for peace of mind.
