Having only had my 33 for 4 days now I've been reading quite a bit of stuff on here and other forums.

It's a 1993 non-cat 16v sportwagon, anyway I might as well use this post to ask a question. I want to change the cam belts before I use it too much, can anybody recommend any good Alfa parts places in the NW (UK) or online? Initially for the belts and tensioners, but no doubt other stuff too.

PS expect more questions soon Smile

Hi,

I can recommend www.alfashop.co.uk. Original equipment at good prices.

They do DAYCO cambelts, Valeo stuff like waterpumps, rads, clutches, etc.

My family have had numerous Alfas, and have used Alfashop many times.

just out of interest how much did you pay for your parts? did you get a waterpump? cam bearings? P.M me if you prefer

2 yellow strut bearings
2 cam belts
4 tensioner / idler wheels
1 water pump

Added up to £118 including VAT + delivery.

BUT, I found out today after taking the old belts off that they have sent the wrong belts Sad

. So I'll have to ring them tomorrow and try to sort that out.

Price seems pretty reasonable, tho in a sense you dont know yet what the correct price should be so wont hold breath just yet, what colour sportwagon have you got? See you live in preston, I'm just up road in lancaster, went to norfolk and bought mine today, looked at one behind a dealership in lancaster but it was knackered, engine wouldn't start, both front doors wouldnt open, been stood two years, mushrooms growing out of carpet etc but it's same colour as mine (met grey) so was thinkin of chasing it up as donor car... havent told my girlfrioend yet tho, hehehe
