Didnt Even know they was a brakers at brampton , Douglas in carlisle has a few stilos in , what you after buddy ill go get them if you need?

 

[MazCinq]

yeah, there is a great breakers down the back of Brampton. I will show you on google maps.


I'm after a lot of front end bits, I will look in ePer for an exploded pic to better show what I need lol.

 

[MazCinq]

The map shows roughly where the breakers is at Brampton.


the second pic shows the guard that is missing that I am after and I will have to take the bumper off to take a pic of the other bits im after as I cant find an ePer pic of what I need.

 

[jatkinson]

ill try and get to douggies before stanford and grab them for you if you want , ?

 

[MazCinq]

I will let you know mate, I was hoping to be up there this weekend but things have gone all to pot lol, up next weekend instead lol.


I need all the plastic support panels that hold the rad and stuff in place too as mine are all snapped, but cant find an exploded pic of the front of a stilo that shows them.

 

[jatkinson]

well today has been expensive, the combination of lowering springs and 20mm spacers on the front has, a faulty wishbone and dead track rod end, well, destroyed a pair of almost new Yokohama tyres in 2.5k miles, oh and 2 screws have seen the end of one of my rears, 3 new tyres at £90 each has seen me very poor this week

.


on brighter news, my car hasn't gone into limp mode since before Brooklands and the smoke seems to be easing off too, maybe i'm driving slower.

Thats what you call bad luck mate thunk mines not far off :lol: ive had to get drivers abs sensor,cv boot,wish bone and need ecu scanned as well as two tyres and tracked :lol:

 

[MazCinq]

They don't half get expensive these cars lol.

 

[Aj80]

You can say that again mate but gotto love em never the less

 

[MazCinq]

Nope, totally hate mine now, I will be quite happy if it suddenly bursts into flames on my drive right now, beyond had enough!!!!!

 

[Aj80]

Mate yours must be bad to say that :lol:

 

[MazCinq]

Potentially the gearbox!

 

[Aj80]

Oooo thats not good. Hows the gearbox playing up?

 

[MazCinq]

I have this weird vibration under load but according to Sussexa and the Alfa forum its a common sign of inner CV failure, so will get one and replace it and hope it fixes the issue lol.

 

[sussexa]

its a fair jump to just order one on the hope ?
id still be seeking pro advice from a garage , up on a ramp with hands on the joint, if they say gone fair enough.
if I jacked mine up now and had a feel of mine id have no idea of good or bad as ive never felt a good or bad one, id be off to see if my trusted mechanic would have a feel to confirm.
these guys have probably done enough to feel a bad one(hopefully)

the unfortunate thing is, the only full time Mechanic I trust lives 178miles from me and as I have only been in the Notts area for about a year I haven't found a garage I trust yet, thought I had but then they didn't pick up on my separated bottom pully and then stood around scratching their heads as to why it kept throwing the belt.


If I just replace it then its one less thing to worry about and another step closer to a brand new Stilo lol

 

[jatkinson]

dude fetch it round and ill have a look

 

[MazCinq]

Unfortinatly, I didn't get time to pop over and see you this time I was up, was all very last min

, I will be up again in a few weeks but I will have fitted a new shaft by then, new shafts were on my list of items to replace anyway due to age, I would really like this car to stick around longer than I normally keep a car for (about 6 months)

 

[MazCinq]

I'm guessing its this one that's the issue???
