I told you a while back that it cost me £850 to have the cam belts done on the wifes ZT :(

Well, the clutch has gone now. It's a sealed unit, the master and slave cylinders come as one part joined with a pipe. The slave lives INSIDE the transmission. So, basically, if a cylinder leaks, it's new clutch.

Wait for it...........£800 to £900 >:(


Omegas? Cheap  ;D ;D

New master cylinder (£155+VAT) seems to have cured it. Although, I have heard, once the master goes, the slave is usually not far behind. Time will tell. ;)

gawd help something going wrong on the Alfa!!

It's gotta happen! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Its gonna happen

 ;D ;D ;D

Hmmmm.......the alfa.

Needs a rad. Bought it (£165 Valeo) but cant afford to have it fitted now. The one that's in it will do for now.

The gearbox has a slight leak.

The xenons shine about two foot in front of the car. If I put my main beam on, it shines like normal dipped beam. That will be self levellers as well then.



Good job I'm mad, or I might shed a tear ;D ;D

Mad? I'd be absolutely furious.  >:( >:( >:( ;D

Glad it's fixed...

Bleeding clutches is a funny thing, as I have recently learnt!

What was wrong with the old self adjusting cable clutches...  :'(

The ford ones were awful. They used to click all the time and even just go straight to the floor now and again. They were a swine to fix once they'd gone as well.

Thankfully you have a more reliable car now though ::)
