I traced all it's service history back and it's definately been clocked. It wasn't just one service that didn't add up but one dealer had had it in on three separate occasions in 2010 and the mileage recorded by them every time was higher than the mileage the car is currently showing.

On the upside, I've found another one today. A bit more money but never mind http://www.carshop.co.uk/used-car/ALFA%20ROMEO/GT/MF57GAU

says sold

looks like an alright one at my local :

It is

Nice one Joe! Lovely motor Lets hope there's no nasty surprises with this one.

I'll be checking everything on this one too, just goes to show you can't be too careful.

Well done Joe, it looks very nice

That's more like it.

Very nice.

How are you enjoying it so far?

Nice choice

I've had it a week now and it's very nice. I do miss the coupe, but she sold to a forum member and I know it'll be looked after.

The alfa handles brilliantly, like it's on rails and the Q2 diff means you can get the power down really early coming out of bends.

Economy isn't fantastic though.

my advice if not already done, then get a remap. I have a cheap tuning box on my 150 jtd and it revs so freely and holds power so much better up to the red line. A remap is on the cards but I currently estimate power to be around 175bhp

Looks nice I just picked up a Brera to replace my coop and I must admit it's blOOdy luverly Doesn't have the sort of raw edge that the coop has but the drivers seat is a very nice place to be. Handling and ride is great too.

Way ahead of you

Angel tuning seem to have a good reputation for this.

What engine is in your Brera & what's the economy like?

Don't tell Shabba but it's the four cylinder 2.2 petrol engine. I've only had it a couple of days but economy is reported at about 25 mpg urban and 30 mpg combined. It's a very refined drive. Bit of grunt when you floor it but it will cruise around all day at normal roadspeeds

See you on the other side....

... Could have had an Alfa 145 with a Coupe's heart... makes for a very nice car.

(I LOVE! Brera's)

The gt is off to Alfatune in St Helens on Saturday for map check and remap.

Very happy with the remap by Gus today, now running a surprising 210bhp. It's truly a different car to the one I dropped off this morning.

Listen. Can you pm me details of how you find Alfatune. I live about 1/2 a mile away and have done for 25 years. Spoke to Gus the other week and he told me where his place was. But can I find it?

Lol at Chris

Glad you're happy with the car Joe

There's no sign up saying Alfatune, but he's more or less opposite a plant hire place. On the corner of Lock street.

Thanks Joe - it's quite funny this

google maps - my house to Alfatune

I've lived here 30 years and never seen the place. I can't see Alan Sugar ever putting him in charge of marketing

Maybe you just don't get out much, Chris.

Lol, that is close.
