    Rust!

    Has anyone found any rust spots on a QP V yet? I have heard that the boot lid frame may rust from the inside out, particularly around the rivets near the hinges and on the leading edge by the rear window.

    "Enhacements"

    So, I've got a wet sump/ZF auto 4.2 QP, early '08. I can't help myself when it comes to 'personalising' cars, which normally means making them faster/louder/stronger. What realistic options are there out there for modifications/enhancements, such as which x-pipe provides the best bang per £...

    Checl engine light - wierd one

    Another newbie...

    Hi all. I've recently joined the exclusive club of people with multiple Italian cars with the purchase of an 08 Quattroporte this past weekend to join the existing Alfa. I'll try to avoid the most obvious newbie questions, but I'm sure one will pop up every now and then, and perhaps in the...
