Default unbelieveable...wait 6 months for it....then after 32 miles it breaks down....

Unbelieveable....
156 1.9JTD Veloce - first delivered 3 months ago after a 3 month wait turns
up with the wrong colour interior....
so I reject delivery....
Today, another 3 months later, the right one finally turns
up....Whaey...here we go...drive time!!
32 miles later the thing throws up 'motor control system failure' 'Go to
dealer'
So I go to the dealer - who can't look at it 'til Thursday.
Dealer says 'If it's driving OK carry on'
Now 55 miles on the clock and the feckin' thing wont rev over 3000rpm and
feels like you're driving with the handbrake on...

unbe-feckin-leviable....
Way to go Alfa....I spend half my time trying to tell colleagues that Alfa's
are the dogs whatsits and I'd never have anything else...
and the thing breaks down before the new car smell has even gone....
Now waiting for the AA.
