Hi all
I've spotted a very nice Alfa GTV 2.0 TS (1996) with 213000K's on the clock. Before I buy it I would like some advice on what to look out for. The car has been taken to the local agent who gave it a cean bill of health but pointed a fwe things out, namely:
1.) The Lambda sensor has been disconnected - why would someone do this?
2.) The brakes feel a bit 'soft' - could this be expensive?
3.) The car has no service documentation or records - what's the minimum I should do to feel confident that I won't have a blown engine some time soon? Know the cambelt on these cars need to be changed regularly.
4.) Some electronics do not work like the lights for brights and rear-screen demister (on the speedo cluster) - is this a common fault?
Thanks in advance
