Better there, than on a slightly hilly slightly twisty B road. I tried that about 2016, with then recently renewed rear brake pipes on my Mondeo. One of the rear flexies was just a tiny bit to short, and the junction with the new CuNi hard pipe did did not like it. Managed to come to a halt before the hill into town, and find the problem. 10mph, first gear, and the handbrake to a repair location.....

You're in luck. Just seen some in Aldi, £3.99 each. 🤣🤣🤪 And then I woke up !
I recon one shocker and a fluid refill equals a Bonneville.

Yeah me, that's who, but amazingly the Alfa is going strong, this freezing weather has not been a problem, the red barron works just fine and mileage is up to a heady 17k, and it still looks clean and shiny, will this good fortune last 🤔

Be that a diesel good Sir Buster? you want a nice little Italian runabout you do, Super reliable 🤔
Modern diesels, great when they're going, but emmisions related horrors get you in the end, they're a fookin nightmare 😳 don't ask me how I know.
And on the subject of supposed award winning engines, don't for fooks sake buy a Ford with an Ecoboom engine, complete disposable shite, wet timing belt the size of a hoover belt that disintegrates and screws the engine, complete rubbish 🤬

Come on then Prince Comstar, how much to replace a shocker, be it more than the total price of the Alfa? do we need a forum wip round 😄

Apparently not a warrantied item. curiosity got the better of me and I had to have a look, might be on the wrong model (california?), having a bit of a lie down after seeing the price and I dont dare even think about the fitting cost. tin of baked beans each for xmas dinner this year
