2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Hatchback

Bought the car two and half years ago in cape town Drives really well and has done several trips between bloemfontein and cape town. And also to durban. Some mechanical work history on the car that Ive done: In order from two and half years ago till now... - Cam belt with water pump in bloemfontein at professional alfa mechanic. (This is the only person, or engine maintenance that was done) - all plugs (100-thousand km service interval) - two front lower control arms - power steering high pressure pipes - two rear disks for brakes and pads - four goodyear tyres - clutch pad and release bearing. Rearmain seal - front brake pads - gearbox mounting - front and back shocks - gearlever cable from lever to gearbox - heater hoses, from engine to heater - battery Most parts used is from alfa dealer in south africa. All works done was by single mechanic, except the cam belt that was done in bloemfontein. Did my own investigation on faults and used mechanic that I know from cape town. Had engine from 185000km to now 248000km. Regular oil changes. Engine compression is still good. Minor oil leak at the sump plug
