"Snarling Chariot"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

On going problem with ABS warning light staying on.

Rear suspension dampers replaced at 38,000 miles.

Alarm sounds for no reason - even though it has been replaced once - given up using it.

General comments?

Superb, underrated car. Engine is fantastic growling animal with a rasping, snarling exhaust.

Strong character from quick steering, taut handling and hard-charging engine. At its best on fast 'A' roads with sweeping bends. Very enjoyable car to drive - and look at, (especially in Alfa Red, of course). Best car I've driven.

My local dealer doesn't seem to be able to cope with anything more complicated than an oil change.

I have an identical spec car with the same ABS light problem. Perhaps this is a common phenomenon - does anyone know what the cause is likely to be?

I have the same problem with the ABS, light on a 146ti 96.
