You’d have to be daft to buy that with 95k on it, £2-3k more buys you one with half the miles. They are cheap though, great value daily driver.

OK cheers for that. Funnily enough, as well as my Alfa spider, I have an Insignia VXR Estate. It's surprisingly unchavvy and sounds pretty good as it's a V6 turbo, obviously not as good as a Maser or Alfa busso V6. I shall be keeping it, as it's needed to cart my drumkit around in, I don't think a Ghibli or Giulia would be that great for that.
As for the x pipe option, does it just accentuate the standard sound, or does it change the timbre as well as being louder?
The seals break and the washer fluid leaks out at a rapid rate meaning the headlight and windscreen washers won't work. Happened to mine, and it was a real pain until fixed.Okey doke. Points noted there, thank you very much. What actually happens to the washers?
Is that not re-callable? Surely having no windscreen wipers is a serious issue?The seals break and the washer fluid leaks out at a rapid rate meaning the headlight and windscreen washers won't work. Happened to mine, and it was a real pain until fixed.
Unfortunately not. The entire headlamp washer unit (one side not both - unless both are leaking) has to be replaced. It's a front bumper off job and a very expensive part at around £450 per side.Is that not re-callable? Surely having no windscreen wipers is a serious issue?
thats a high mileage,

You can plug off the headlight washer line as an easy fix.. but only if you have a friendly MOT garage as technically it's a fail.
I think mine went on a very cold night and cant have had enough screen wash in so froze in the pump and goosed it. Needless to say it's very concentrated now

Do you know where on the line to plug it, and how to get to it? Mine has a leak. I took the washer fuse out thinking it'd stop the water pumping to those lines, but that didn't work.
any guidance would be most appreciated.
I don't need headlamp washers (in fact, I don't like how they leave streaks up the bonnet)
You can get to the line from the passenger side wheel arch. Take the wheel and wheel arch liner off. The washer bottle is there along with 2 motors.. one for the windscreen one for the headlights.. I'm sure you can plug something there...Do you know where on the line to plug it, and how to get to it? Mine has a leak.
