I use Dave Jr, he brings in stuff for friends, and he usually gets pretty fresh tires. pricing, I believe its very competitive. You can say white GT owner referred. His stocks are usually the more erm.... well received ones, but he doesn't deal in budget tires.... Thx Saabre! Can pm me his contact? I'm looking at PS3 or PSS... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 5k at one go, but i think easily more than $5k in a span of 2-3 months....pui.... This car has some problems and the Agent will not warrant ur car if you are 2nd owner and mileage > 60k....and they are very very slow and expensive. I had 3 alfas and this gona be my last one....let the brand die....the agent dun give me confident.... [wave] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(once in 2.5yrs of ownership on a 2nd hand 159) 2. anyone who has a 159 that broke down and repairs cost more than S$5k at one go? (regular servicing at 5k i do not mind). (Max 800 so far for me) 3. spare parts for alfa easily available and in stock? go where buy? really very expensive??? (AS or AC or EA or online) I find it reasonable for parts... thanks for all your helpful inputs, would go a long way to help me get an italian gf! Go test drive first, some may not like the selespeed.. My mileage >100k but still not a problematic car I find.. Thanks to my wifey intro...

Well my Bella uses Pelle Frau leather and they now have an outlet in Scotts so getting matching leather shouldnt be an issue (exy though but worth it) But finding a good trimmer?

Desmojon 1st Gear July 26, 2012 Share July 26, 2012 Hi guys, is it required to hook up a backup power supply during battery changes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabretooth 2nd Gear July 26, 2012 Share July 26, 2012 it is not compulsory, but when they do it, it is because they don't want you to lose your radio settings, ECU settings...clock settings...and whatever other settings that will reset to 0 when there is no battery connected won't die won't make car go faster either.
