This car has now moved on to pastures new-
I'd simply had enough of the faults and flaws, but didn't have the time or desire to take the car off the road to sort them - I pretty much ran it into the ground.
Fair play to it it took a helluva beating, never failing to start, and only failing to stop once.
Headline figures:
purchase price 200
Repairs 132
Fuel 632
Miles covered 4094
Average mpg 32.8
running costs per mile 18.6p
Because I was using it for work, I claimed approx 1/2 the miles. Factoring in that, plus what I sold the car for (£118) I get a cost per mile of
- 2p per mile.
All in all, the Alfa paid me £99 for the time I had it. Not a bad result.

I'd have another but it'd need to be a V6
I'll get a thread for the replacement done soon
