Hi Roocarl and welcome. The GT is still for sale - most queries I've had have been from traders offering a **** of a lot less than what I have advertised it for, which is to be expected I guess. Recently had a private buyer who messed me around so much (agreed price then at last minute tried to...

Hi Everyone, thanks for all your comments. Regarding the 4C, I have must be in a minority as I prefer the 'spiders eyes' headlamp design rather than the ones on the spider version! Like that bit of quirkiness. Did consider an Exige Roadster, but just wasn't special (Italian) enough for me....

Hi Everyone, After much deliberation, I have decided to sell my Granturismo after 2 years of ownership. I have only covered 5000 miles since purchasing it in September 2013 and can honestly say its the best car I have ever owned. Having said that, I have been after a Alfa 4c since seeing it...

Hi Chrisbassett, No, the battery appears to be fine and has not been disconnected. I keep it charged when not in use. I did wonder if a reset of some kind had occurred.

Hi All, Have noticed over the past couple of weeks that the gear changes on my 07 Granturismo have become more pronounced, particularly when changing downwards - The car seems to jolt slightly more. I've read that the car adjusts itself according to how you drive, but I've owned it for over...

Thanks bigbob. Silly question but how do you turn the ebd off when parked?

This is worrying. My car will be parked at an airport for 10 days while I'm away. Not sure what I can do avoid the battery draining completely. If it does die on me, can anyone recommend the best way to get it started again.

Hi All, I've got a problem with one of my key fobs. The key blade does not spring upwards when I press the button, so the key blade is stuck within the casing. I can't press the button all the way down so sounds like the spring mechanism could be broken. Anyone else had this problem - Any...

Thanks.wasn't sure if needed to access sat nav with a code. Will try reconnecting the battery in that case.failing that a visit to the dealers might be in order.

Thanks for the replies. I've read (via google) that disconnecting/reconnecting the battery may solve the problem - Might try this but not sure if this will have implications for the sat nav and other things. Will also have a look this weekend to see if there is any water contamination. The car...

Hello All, Finally purchased a 07 GranTurismo and what a car it is! Absolutely love it, the noise, the looks, everything. As soon as this rain stops, I'll try and post some pics. However, I am experiencing a slight problem. A few days ago I got an audible/visual warning message saying that...

Hi All, Many thanks for the welcome and advice. I'm probably looking to get an early example - My only problem now is choosing the right colour! I think the black looks great, but blue and red also look nice.

Hello all, Looking to purchase a 2008/09 Granturismo within the next month or so. I've previously owned 6 Alfas including a V6 Brera and Giulietta Cloverleaf - All have been superb to own and drive, but am looking for something a little different. I'll be honest and say that I don't really...
