Thanks guys!

Hi guys

Hopefully another quick question.

A couple of the rubber clips that hold the exhaust in place on my series I, 33 ti have fallen off and the exhaust is now really rattly when cold. You k ...

I can only imagine how much harder the 1.7's would be to work on!! The 1.5ti is hard enough!

There's nothing like the twin overhead cam Alfetta blocks as far as the DIY services are concerned!! S ...

Hi All

I have been putting off the rust repair on my 33 for some time now. The rust has popped up, in typical 33 fashion, on the tailgate - just beneath the rear windscreen seal.

Originally I wa ...

Do you guys mean the brake proportioning valve? I could have sworn this noise was coming from inside the car - near the parcal shelf or something.

The squeak almost acts like a "speed limit" device ...

Thanks for the advice guys. Ben - you may well be right, I didn't think about the possibility that the circuitry was inefficient. Although, the windows wind up and down at the same speed whether the e ...

I actually had one of those badges on the back of my 1977 Alfetta!!

"L'aria Conditionata"

The car did have (very feeble) air conditioning, and was a stock, original example when I got it.

Hey all,

After much fiddling and make shift remedies, I finally have got my 1986 style, series I, power windows working again. I tell you - those dash mounted buttons and contacts are an absoulte b ...

Sud looks great! Fantastic condition. God they're sexy cars - and I reckon they handle a darn sight better than my (series 1) 33 too...

Wheels look cool too. Although I still like the old telephone ...

Hey - think I may have sorted this out - apparently there is a big difference between the 635CSI and the M 635CSI which is much faster....

Is your friend's one an M?

Mate - I'm not going to have a huge argument over this but i'm certainly not one of these looneys that boast endlessly about their cars - I know it's limitations.

However, FYI - I checked the 635CS ...

I think I may have raised this before, but I would like some advice on rust repair.

A small spot of rust has appeared on my 33's tailgate. I was initially just going to sand it back and dab on a li ...

I was just reading through the old posts and came accross this one. Have got to drop my 10 cents (my 2 cents are free). Unless I have something really wrong, that can't be right about your mate's BMW. ...

I was thinking of letting this debate go - but i'm gonna just jump back in there and say this:

I have had an Alfetta (which is almost identical to a 75), my dad has a 105 GTA, I now have a 33 and m ...

Hey mate,

My dad has had about 8 Alfas, and i'm on my 3rd - the guy that services my car has been working on our family's Alfas since he was a 16 year old working in his mum's backyard!

He does ...

Errol - that could be a plan mate (obviously you're in Sydney).

Can you gimme some details of your car - kms, colour, rust (!!), problems... general condition?

Photos would be great also...

A ...

Dave - can't help you with your problem mate - sorry!

Ben - your door electrics problem is easily fixed. I had the same thing happen with mine.

The problem is because the plastic conduit running ...

Having owned a 1979 2.0 Alfetta, I would say that the only place the 33 would win on a track would be from about 50 km/h - 100 km/h.

The 2.0 twin cams are seriously torquey engines and i used to t ...

I probably could get a 147 GTA - they're only $59K down here. However, there are two main reasons why I am hesitant:

1) Since I live so close to the Sydney CBD, I hardly ever drive...

2) The new ...

Hi All,

I'm just hoping for a little helpful and maintenance related advice. I am thinking of getting rid of ol' faithful ('86 33QV) and updating to a 1992/3 16V or P4 33.

Which one should I go ...
