Greetings from Vienna, Austria.
Just picked up my first car in 15 odd years, a 2007 Brown Uproad. Needed an estate because of a new baby and it was the more or less the best car I found for the money (the used market here is far more expensive than back in the UK).
Hope it doesn´t turn into a money pit! It seems like a nice runner so far it has a few cosmetic blemishes, mainly to do with the "offroad" skirting on the drivers side door.
I have a couple of questions
It doesn´t have a spare wheel what exactly should I have instead, a can of foam and....?
I´m going on holiday on Sunday and will be travelling around 950 miles would anyone chance it with just some cans of foam or should I try and get a spare wheel tomorrow?
Other than one of those FM transmitters what is the best way to connect a mp3 player to the bog standard mp3 head unit and is it possible to connect a hard drive too?
Low ash fully synthetic 5w40 oil is the one to go for?
Has anyone bothered putting 2 stroke in their Diesel, read about it on an Alfa forum(would´ve loved a 156sw but need a boot!) and was wondering on opinions here.
Any must do mods and recommedations on codereaders.
Right thats enough for now!
Ta!

Hi, Welcome to the FF.

The Uproad version was only made with left hand drive, so we never got them in the UK.

I remember getting prices for someone for all the black plastic parts to convert a normal Multiwagon to the Uproad look. It came to over £3000 (GBP) :eek:
