I personally wouldn't go within a mile of an Alfa dealer for non
warranty work - too many bad experiences. I go to an independent
specialist with a good reputation - recommended by some people over on
alfaowner.com.
I've recently had the 72k mile service done (car actually done 50k)
including cam belt change so I'm scuppered once again. I got the
gearbox oil changed at the same time but it hasn't made much
difference.
Like someone else said I'm just going to live with it until it self
destructs, I can't keep pouring cash at this car no matter how much I
love driving it.
