The weather is shocking here so no photos as yet. I will check if the recall is correct.

Hi all, yep its a thrust bearing on it's way out. It's been serviced every year by a Maserati trained mechanic - I don't skim on maintenance and I have too many cars so there's no replacement due...I spend 50% of my time in Italy so my online presence ahas been woeful. I have no damp in the...

HI, Not been on here in a long time and sadly its to look at parting with my wondeful car. I will add photos at the weekend as the weather is not too good at the moment I have owned this car since 2008 and used it sparingly hence the low mileage. There can't be too many manuals out there and...

I've done it a couple of times but not the whole route. I've picked it up on the way back gone into Tuscany and then up to Brescia for the finish. Last year it included Modena. It's a petrol head's feast. Two year's ago I stayed at a small hotel where some of the competitors were staying -...

I've been busy and away and so have just got back to assembling the motor. here are a few more shots. This shows the trigger wheel which has been welded to the front pulley. And an old alternator bracket used to mount the crank angle sensor. I'd knocked these up quickly last time to...

Thanks everyone. I'm away at the moment but will post more pics as I get along. Any restoration is going to be expensive but I've modified and upgraded quite a few things - it can always be returned to standard but there are lots of excellent standard cars and so this is how I wanted it. The...

Hi I said I'd post a bit about my spider so here we go... I've owned it for years - left it on the drive rotting and as a parts bin for 10.. but just didn't havet the heart to scrap it. Alfa's have souls. Buying another would have been cheaper but I had a point to prove to myself... Here...

Ok will get pictures and post some bits up in relevant sections

I will have had my car for 2 years in April, in which time I have basically been putting right things which were not quite right when I bought it. I have two more - 1. The steering wheel blistering seems to have got bad over winter 2. Need to strip the clutch and housing - It had a new...

Thanks everyone, Yes Loz I still have the 3 Wheeler as a reminder of just how stupid I can be. Last summer I did the same trip in the spider and it was much more enjoyable. Conaero - I do still have the 348 - it gets the heated garage. If they were girls the 4200 is the sophisticated lady...

Hi, I've done the odd browse and post but never really done a proper intro. I've been a bit busy over the past 12 months spending a mass of time and money restoring an Alfa spider, then driving it to various events. I have noticed that i still have my 4200 manual in the driveway so time to...

That is a brilliant piece of work. I have a slight transmission cluck which like you say some garages do not pick up on. Looking at your pics and description I now believe that my torque tube is not the problem. The clunk I'm getting must be from the bearing/clutch assembly. Although you...
