1994 Alfa Romeo 145 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, shame about the reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam belt snapped at 35,000 miles costing around 1400 pounds to replace.
Water leaks in car.
Water pump erratic.
Radiator replaced at 39,000.
Dealers expensive £50.00 per hour labour charges alone and you have to wait at least 2 months to get the car serviced to guarantee a courtesy car (in London anyway - there are only 2 dealers in North London/Central London and both are hopeless).
