"I love the car, but I hate spending a fortune at the garage repairing it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Leaked where the windscreen was fixed on driver side

Aerial of the ignition no longer recognized my keys

Electronic engine of roof opener broke

Loss of power this week end - engine chip says there is a problem - I think with the Turbo, but garage is unable to find the problem - will pull 50 mph maximum and rev limits at 3300

At least 8 head lamps have been replaced - especially driver side.

General comments?

Pleasure to drive if it didn't go wrong so often.

I bought my new alfa 147 in 2003 as new, I have had nothing go wrong with it at all, except for the totally useless dealership who I have "dumped" and get my car serviced for half the price and done a whole lot better.

Long live the 147.
