Description

Unfortunately having to sell due to needing a more modern car. This Alfa is finished in the really rare zafiro blue, which contrasts nicely with the tan leather interior and is paired with the 2.4jtdm engine. The interior is in good condition, with the expected wear and tear and some cracks in the leather. I have fitted an android head unit, with car play and android auto, and a rear reversing camera, which all works really well, although the original head unit is included if you'd rather. The AC was recently pressure tested and degassed due to other work done, and blows ice cold. Rear windows are tinted, although it is peeling in places. Halo leds are installed on the headlights, and work with the indicators as well. They dim automatically when dipped or full beam come on, keeping it road legal. I have had a lot of work done on this car, with replacement of both front and rear subframes due to rust, welding on both sills, and the replacement of all control arms and rear trailing arms. The result is now that the car is more or less rust free underneath, and will remain like that if care is taken. I have removed the under tray, since they trap moisture and cause corrosion, but it is available with the car if you want it. The other major work that the car has had recently is the replacement of the head gasket. During this the cylinder head was resurfaced and pressure tested, with no cracks or damage found. The timing belt, tensioner, bearing, and water pump were replaced at this time, as well as the thermostat, coolant reservoir and reservoir cap. The reservoir cap was found to have failed and caused the overheat, now this is replaced the car gets up to temp quickly and stays there without losing coolant. The EGR and intake manifold were also cleaned, and the engine runs much better now. The offside rear passenger door and rear quarter panel have both been very poorly resprayed by a previous owner. I don't know if there has previously been crash damage there, but as mentioned all control arms have been replaced and alignment carried out so any damage has been rectified.
