    Oil leak - drivers side valve covers

    Noticed the car was smelling a bit oily smokey so took a look, appears oil is leaking from drivers side valve cover onto the exhaust manifold, oddly the oil seems to dribble down from somewhere above the valve cover, like where the plugs go but to my knowledge there is nothing above the valve...

    Paraflu 11 Green - Alternatives

    I've just fitted a new waterpump and last year when I fitted a crappy 2nd hand one I'm pretty sure I managed to get 2 x 5lt bottles of green paraflu 11... Now I can only seem to find 1lt bottles which will work out expensive. I don't recall where I got this from last time round... Is there an...

    Cross threaded ****

    So refitting my brake control unit for about the 4th time I've managed to mangle one of the threads as can be seen in the pictures, is this repairable using a helicoil or something else? Hoping someone has a suggestion as a new unit is a lot of $ :-(

    Brake union alternate part?

    Hi all, Our beloved Brembo calipers on 3200, 4200 and GS all share the same part Brake Union - this looks like it ought to just be a standard fitting but I haven't seen anything listed in the normal thread, I am wondering if anyone has sourced anything as its a special order from the factory...

    New Caliper or repairable?

    Last year when taking the car apart a few things went wrong, one being the nipple snapping off in the caliper, see photo, anyone had similar experience and been able to salvage it or is this a chuck it in a bin moment? I've been trying to extract but I think its probably a drill it out job? Any...

    Fuel pipe thingy me bobble

    Hi folks! I am putting my fuel tank back in and there is this odd bundle of filters and tubes on the left hand side of the tank that look like they attach to the car body somewhere but I have no idea where, nothing obvious and being an idiot I didn't take any photos when I took this out months...

    Which is which?

    Being a complete amateur I got my shocks n springs refurbed but didn't make a note of which was which, on the mounts there is some markings and hopefully these will be useful, one looks like it says DX and the other SX, so the question is does anyone know which is near or off side? And note to...

    3200 Rear Tie rods

    Sorry for being lazy... but with 48 pages, the alternative parts list is a nightmare to navigate, I seem to recall the 3200 rear tie rods being an alfa part or am I getting confused? Tried searching but again tie rods gives me 4.25 million threads to look through. :-)

    Part 318020336 seems to be NLA..... One of mine has come out and got itself twisted up in the inspection hole. These look like a fairly standard part does anyone know if there is an alternative?

    Brake Pedal Switch 3200 / 4200

    I searched the alternative parts list but as thats 50 pages long may have missed it, Eurospares and Scuderia both show this now as a part to enquire about.... Just took mine off and its knackered - looks exactly the same as this part except this is blue & mine is white Brake Light Switch for...

    Gone

    I bought this pair of 3200 front seats thinking I'd use them on my car or make office chairs, but they are the wrong colour for mine & I'm never going to get round to doing anything with them & the Mrs wants them gone. They are in reasonably good condition with plenty of life, include runners...

    Starter motor - click

    Got my car back after a month in the shop, driven 250 miles, jumped in it today, turned the key, funny noise click. Not turning over. I replaced the starter motor about 6 years ago and last time I see to recall getting a little bit of warning, i.e it gradually packed up, really miffed was going...

    Something to line the door with

    I'm replacing the window regulator and while at it I want to replace the sound deadening material under the interior door panel. The sheet had been cut and ripped and looked generally poor. I've been looking online and all I can fine is adhesive sheets that seem to come in small squares. The...

    Window not going up all the way

    My drivers side window has developed a fault, it drops like it should when opening the door but when I close the door the window judders and rattles but doesn't go back up. I can get it to almost go right the way to the top but there is always a gap. I can manually get it to the top with the...

    Windscreen polishing

    Anyone have any experience of polishing scratches out of their windscreen? My car is getting on in age and every summer I notice in certain situations the windscreen is covered in tiny scratches, I guess this is years of stones skimming off the surface and leaving their mark. I've been...
