Slightly O/T - Parts Site or Catalogue Help - Alfa

Would anyone know of either possibility below:

A site equivalent to service.citroen, but for Alfa, or...
A source of factory parts manuals (CD) to suit 147

Not a repair guide as such, just diagrams and reference details like SC has. I want to price the possibility of repairing our bent one.

Thanks, Adam.

My son in law bought himself one of these -

recently. I'll be seeing him this afternoon and will as him if he knows of anything to help.

Sorry, he had no info on that front, just a horror story of a friend's Alfa, a flat battery and what the dealer said next

While your there, do you have a mate called Craig?

Clearly he needs a Xantia V6 in his life

Wonder what his success rate was and did he get his collar felt for posting all those notices I wonder

Thanks for trying, Steve. FWIW the 147 was faultlessly reliable up the point where White Van Man adjusted its panel gaps - I think we all hear horror stories about marques and dealer gouging. My mate's scan tool has been pretty competent with the car, even clearing some codes that required convoluted procedures.

CJ - I doubt Craig got into any strife, but suspect that was the protagonist's real name. That's the sort of stuff I'd do, if I'd thought of it first. David Thorne is pretty funny, too - but slightly more "creepy" to some.

Back on topic - I saw some Fleabay adverts where they'd singled out bits of a masterparts catalogue - so, clearly they're out there. The local Italian parts scene (for newer models) is pretty closed shop.

Cheers, Adam.

Thanks for the link and PM. If I get organised enough, an hour session on the workshop computer ought to be a help.
