1999 Alfa Romeo 166 Twin Spark review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic value second hand 5k buys you a top car with good spec"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car in April 2003. Had new cam belt fitted, 36k service, new brake cable, front pads all just after I bought it. Cost £500 from an Alfa specialist (not dealer). Covered 17,000 Miles in just 6 months. Only 2 faults squeaky steering and clutch pedal. Looks brand new inside and out.
General comments?
Just changed the alloys from the standard 205 55 16 TO 225 45 17. Bad move I think they look fantastic, but road noise has increase more than I thought and don't feel that confident when driving.
