    Vacuum Leak Fix Solves Multiple Issues

    This place has been the inspiration for several fixes for me in the past, so let me share a fix recently that has literally changed my life. Like many on here I've lived with the idiosyncracies of a 3200 for as long as I've owned her. Major issues in my ownership have been high (really high!)...

    No Brakes

    Or I should say the travel on the brake pedal is so low it's untrue. I can barely stop the car even at low speed. Fluid is full. No obvious leaks. Any ideas folks?

    Niche Question - Floor Mats

    Afternoon All. I can get some floor mats in pale gold from Italy (yay!), but they're for a RHD Manual whereas I have an Auto. I'm in danger of sounding like a tit here - but why on earth would any of the critical dimensions for a floormat be different between the auto and the manual? Surely the...

    Blinking Gear Selector Display

    Hi folks. Running a '99 3200GTA which reminds me of the most neurotic girlfriend I ever had - gorgeous on the outside but with a myriad issues and hang-ups. The latest one that's manifested itself is a blinking gear selector display which clearly needs some sort of attention. Any idea what this...

    Drivers Side Window Aggravation

    Aaargh. Sorted the throttle problem, for now. And now the driver's window has decided to have a mind of its own. Drops all the way when you open the door, then doesn't return when you close it. Just sits there. Open. Gaping. Is there are simple window reset like on all my Alfas? or have I got...

More noticeable in the boot, so I suspect it's the seal around the sender unit (I had a similar problem in the 916). Is this accessible under the back seat? Does anyone...

    3200 Window ECU - Any alternative parts?

    Hello all. I've had a good search around and can't find any reference to an alternative part for the Window ECU (which has got moisture in and borked) any ideas? Or do I have to take out a second mortage again?

    3200 Engine racing in Neutral & Park

    Evening All. Odd problem cropped up today. 3200 has been running beautifully for the few weeks I've had it. Today when I left a meeting the CEL illuminated and the car limped to the next parking lay by. I reset the throttle upper and lower. Started up, no CEL, but the engine started racing...

    Newbie from Worcestershire

    Hello all, new 2000 V 3200GT owner. Picked up a couple of weeks ago and now with Vic at Migliore for some fettling. Always wanted one of these, and after several Alfas including a V6 GTV which is currently having a suspension rebuild I reckon I can cope with the inevitable heartache. Looking...
