Just remember that Alfa halved the cambelt change [eriod to 3 years 36K miles......and you need to change the variator at the same time to!

Special tool to get aux belt pully off? Wheel arch is in the way.

Very nearly bought a 3.2 V6 Alfa147.
Had a couple of test drives .
Extremely quick.
250 BHP through the front wheels means TC and ESP are constantly working. Buy one if you get the chance. :y
