Does anyone know if JustSuds has gone out of business as the web site is dead. I don't have a phone number for them. If any1 does can they post it as if they have closed there is no way I'm buying another 33/Sud. Unless someone knows of another UK source that will be as cheap as JustSuds was.

I think they've stopped doing business. I spoke to them (Paul?) a month or two ago and he didn't seem to want my business. Sent a few emails then gave up! He said it was a part time thing when I told him it was difficult to contact him. I go to the local Euro factors place and the Alfa dealership at the end of my road - good service and a lot less hassle!

I phoned Robert Hay.

He can still supply some stuff, but he is winding up the business, which is for sale if anybody is interested.

A sad day in Alfa land!!

The cost of running a 33 has just doubled and then there's the tossers at Reg Vardy to contend with (they think Micro Fiche is something Captain Birdseye makes for kids). Anyone got any good suppliers as I need some 16v bits, cam shaft, valves, gaskets etc.

Hi Guys

Don't give up just yet!!

There is another possible supplier - Peter Sharp of ALfanuts, who breaks and does parts for 33's. He's based in / near Lincoln and has a website under the Alfanuts name.

Good luck, James Very Happy

I'm still worried about this. I feel that the ownership of my car has suddenly got more difficult.

My car's off the road, trim and interior all stripped awaiting welding and then waxoyl. And now it has proper rare classic status Confused

From having a quick look Alfanuts seems as expensive as Vardys for Genuine Alfa bits and the local breakers is well less than half the price for the used bits he quotes.

I have recently found a website http://www.alfa33spares.eurobell.co.uk/. you email the site and wait for a reply. note this site still looks like it needs some work done on it. The parts were 2nd hand but they was really cheap and are still going strong!

I think the Alfa shop in Norwich is JustSuds as this is where it is based, I may be wrong.
