Oh mate, these are so groanworthy!

And if you are also changing the plugs, make sure you buy the expensive ones that only need changing every 60K miles - the ones that Alfashop sold me were only 'normal' ones.

Three-three or thirty three - it makes little difference to those not 'in the know' about our car.

Simply explain that you own the ultimate, post-holocaust penile battleaxe and then they'll underst ...

I did actually think about putting a TS engine in my 33 at one stage (problems with engine, then got ripped off for a replacement engine by A&K in Doncaster) but everyone said that I'd be better o ...

I too had a Giulietta 116 - my opinions are as Ravi's, except I DID like the styling, mine was the 1.8 which was great to drive.

Someone please offer me a good one here in the UK!

Chaps - I can't understand this problem with the speedos - my last 33 (a 1992 16v) had this problem so I swapped it for another which didn't fix it.

Does anyone know if it really is the speedo, or ...

The moral of this story is thus:

2 Belts, 4 tensioner bearings and a waterpump is expensive, but not as expensive as the top ends of your boxer engine! Do the lot every time you change the belts. ...

And whatever you do, don't deregister it as the UK authorities will require the original documentation to register it in the UK.

How much are you asking?

I used to have a LHD 16v - I loved it to bits but it hated me!

A used speedo cost £30, a pair of RHD headlights £50 and a pair of RHD tail lights £40 at my local scrap ...

With luck, patience and a little know how (and wires from an old mirror, it is possible to repair the wires in an Alfa 33 mirror, but it took me a whole morning, and I used to work for a co t ...

Going from memory, I changed a head on my 1992 16v, but I had to lower the engine to do so. (Low enough to move the engine over to one side)

To access the seal you'll have to remove exhausts, throt ...

A world without 33s?

I'd still own my old Giulietta 116 or would have bought a 3.0 75 to play with, assuming I didn't buy that 4wd 164 that was on ebay last week! (Overpriced, but superb black 3. ...

In a word, Koni.

'Nuff said. They'll change your life. (and your car!)

I did exactly the same thing, and lived to regret it!

I sold my 1991 33 1.7 16v S (137bhp) and bought a 1992 Tipo 2.0 16v sedicivalvole (148bhp)

It was a good car, slightly more room inside than ...

Alfa killer - it was just sooo much better than my last 33 and the Tipo sedicivalvole!

I'm looking for a really nice set of 4 15" wheels (98pcd, usual offset, etc) with tyres if possible. Ideally the wheels should be standard Alfa, Lancia or Fiat.

I'll pay cash, or for the *right* s ...

I need to remove the cylinder head on my Alfa 33 16v.

Does anyone know if I can remove the R/H head (Cylinders 1 & 3) without removing the engine from the car? How can it be done?

If not, c ...

Sadly for sale - 1991 (H) series 3 Alfa 33 1.7 16v S for sale with over 11 months MOT.

Black, in good, rust free condition, P4 alloys, good tyres (2x good, 2x new) new strut pan bearings, piles of ...

If it is not using water then it is not a cylinder head gasket leak. (water to outside or water to cylinder)

If your engine is running OK, is not using water or oil then simply maintain and drive i ...

I've just had a look at the interfuture.net website - they seem to be a personnel management co - is this correct?

I've always bought bits from alfashop.co.uk - always seemed good on price and delivery.

Well today I had one of those phone calls, all about springs.

I had a chat with my insurance co - They wanted to load my premium £150 EXTRA if I fitted shorter springs to my 16v.

Thought I'd sha ...

I’m in an interesting sitch – having rebuilt my 16v 33 engine I’ve put the engine back in and timed the cams according to the instructions on http://www.alfisti.co.uk/16v_boxer_belts.htm Since then, ...

(here in the UK) when you sign up for your car insurance you state that your car is unmodified, unless otherwise declared.

Your insurance also states that they hold the right to inspect your car at ...

I have this prob with my 1.7 16v QV - departure from standard will mean my insurance co. clobbering me for extra premium.

I have a quote for 'PI' springs, delivered to me in uk for £95.00 but of co ...
