Alfa Romeo 145 1.8 Twin Spark - HELP!!?
My beloved Alfa, which is in immaculate condition, needs a new engine. Can anyone help? I've seen very similar cars for sale @ £2500. Thing is, the car's been off the road for 4 months, & I had to phone the guy at the garage where the car was towed to obtain the mileage to declare it off the road, [Sorn Certificate]. Now, here's the classic, he was supposed to be sourcing a new engine during this time, now he's saying "Don't scrap the car, I'll take it off you for £50, as I might be able to to put an Engine in it". I suspect he's found an engine, and he's been waiting for me to come back to him about this. What do you think I should do????
I would get rid of this car as fast as you can .
Yes they are well known for unreliability and massive engine
failures.
If you change the engine ,you will only get more problems .
sell this thing as it stands,
Cut your losses .
