Good choice, mate! Congrats on getting this beauty!

And there's you telling me to buy a Punto!!!  Bloody cheek! 

Nice looking car Ja. I assume you had to sell your soul to the Devil for that! Give us a few specs then. Engine is a 2.0 twin spark? Leather and air con I assume. What sort of miles?

Like the wheels.

[jasonh131]

And cruise , 6 speed,  cd changer, 18 in alloys  only 63 k miles , 2 relatives owned it ,all the toys Ill have to have a play to figure it all out

[simon131]

Now got to iron out all the bugs of owning an alfa   
  and whats with cam belt changes every 36k im desperate for ?

[POQ 131]

Just be thankfull for the belt & change it. It does seem like a low K change period though. They may be erring on the safe side as the damage is expensive to repair if the belt breaks.
My Toyota 18 rg has two chains in the front. The r is for rattle. 18 rg is a 2 litre 8 valve twin cam.

I assume cam belt change is cheaper for the 2liter than it is for the 3liter. The latter cost me 1000? including ALL parts (belt, pulleys, water pump...), and this was a bargain 

Do it or have it done - but do it!

[jasonh131]

Its going in thursday , been bum clunching for a few days  ,
  yes i know about the 3 litr the ts  are about half that with the troublesome variater ..

[Sev131]

Nice one Jas, it's a great engine and glad your getting that belt kit and variator done. Done a few where the plastic guide roller has disintegrated causing belt failure and all new valves fitted. Think the later belt kits had a uprated guide roller.

Nice car! I'm into Alfas also (own a 147 and a GT).
Didn't know though that 166 had a Ti version, and it's the first time that I see the Ti wheels in 18"
