On One Fatty Review: First ride impressions (ride with commentary)
Whaaat a super-shitty position of air filter. Is special designed to DESTROY ENGINE anytime you will pass some 20cm deep waters as was in many countries in that stormy last months...
😅
4.8L engine oil.
Yep that makes sense why I had to add more 😅
For that 1.4tdi?!... More than my mustang gt 5.0? Even my 1.9tdi had some 4.2liters..
I saw Elvis on wheeler dealers use a home rechroming kit on a GTV . Think it’s about £80-£90 . It’ll be interesting to see how long the aluminium foil treatment lasts . They certainly look a lot better than they did
Oh will need to check that out
You skipped the stuff that can be difficult. For example there is a trick to releasing the brake drum and removing it, and you didnt show replacing the brake pipe.
Removing the drum was easy it just came off. Not aware of a trick but please let me know for next time 😀 yeah by the time I got to the pipe I needed to get a hustle on as my wife needed the car.
The brake drums needed to be painted. So that it does not brown.
Yup you are correct I should have painted them 😓
The next job will be replacing the rear shock absorbers.😊
How are the bottom of the door cards ? They’re prone to getting stabbed with dangling seatbelt buckles . It’s rare to see one that doesn’t have a hole in them
Mine are fine on this but that’s a good tip to look out for thanks 👌
Where abouts are you based? I’d love to pay you to look over my A2. My brakes failed and I had a crush the other week
Thank you for taking the to make videos!
Thanks for watching 👌
Cheap ass
Drive shaft is in the way☹ One of those cars that look great from some angles, bloody awful from others. Criminal shame they were FWD
Looks like a mug holder!
It does 😂
clio lights!
Oh are they?
No such thing as a tapper. There is however hydraulic lifters
Same think in the UK. We call them hydraulic tappets.
Alfa's are beautiful, but. Do an update on the Helicoil please.
She’s back on the road and running smooth. Will make a video update 😌
Thats what you get for buying an Alfa 😂
I think this is more to do with a mechanic not taking care. It could happen to any alloy engine component
It's called spaghetti engineering😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Noooo!!! Ahhhh!!!!
Don’t worry 😉 all fixed now
Its tapping so the treads need re-tapping ;)
😅
It's tapping, beacause it's an alfa. That's just its natural state
🤨
Italian quality 😅
Quality
Can't see dick on this short 😂😂
Your lucky this didn't cause the motor to lose oil pressure... Might as well fit some high lift, ling duration aftermarket cams if your in there replacing a cam or two anyway... Nothing better than throwing a bit of extra duration and lift at an N/A motor
Might do next year I’ve already sorted the top end now and it’s running really nice 👌
@@iamandisykes Very good. Glad to hear you got it sorted 👍
@RebeccaKenworthy thanks 🙏
Awful cars
🤣🤣
Just an alfa doing alfa things
:D :D
How?
Hope the repair goes well.
Already done 👍
timecert not helicoil.
That was a cool cafe.
Fingers crossed 🤞
All sorted now :D
EzY citrus any good
In all honesty I don’t think it does much. I’ve used it on my wife’s A2 that’s used daily and it didn’t seem to loosen up the dirt.
What a great video, I watched twice! My dream car....one day....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really Nice video. I love mine like you do yours!
Thanks I need to do some more videos
Dream car!!! cant wait till i get one of my own!!!
Hillman imp is mine dude thanks for the kind words and glad you liked it! It’s got a bmw k1200rs bike engine, just fitted air ride suspension and goes pretty well 👍
Sick car mate 😍
I love my 916 TS. Bought it cheap, but spent loads on it, including a respray. Plus lots of other things. It’s not worth what I’ve spent, but who cares
A car is worth what it is worth for you. I would not sell my 2001 GTV Cup cheaply, I just like it!
The engine and bay look so tidy. Great review.
Sorry for a silly question but you mention to look under the sill covers and take a look behind the wheel arch liners. Would you really ask a provate seller to take these off and have a look? Would they not tell you to do one?? I only ask as perhaps i wouldnt feel comfortable asking someone to take these off to look, and i wouldnt know how to either! I am after a GTV V6 ...
Yeah it’s a big ask and I would understand if the seller wouldn’t be happy doing so. However if you did see any signs of rust that’s visible without removing in those areas id strongly recommend at least suggesting it for your own piece of mind. Lots can hide behind these sections and a good looking car could quickly become a money pit. Also on my car there is a drain from the boot which exits on the drivers side sill. If the sill cover is removed and fitted incorrectly that drain pipe can sometimes be directed to fill your inner sill with water. It happened to mine when a friendly local garage decided to straighten a jacking point on my car (FOC) I only realised after a heavy downpour and a lot of sloshing about 🤣 I would quite like a V6 too and am considering selling my Twinspark at the mo.
Already have a v6 but have been tempted by a low mileage T spark with low miles which I collect shortly. Agree completely with your comments about the Fiat Coupe, which I also like and which can be cheap. The prices on the gtv seem to be climbing and only the best Fiat Coupes are getting expensive, but on looks alone it seems the Alfa is still too cheap.
sounds ace Andy, hows the lip kit holding up ?
Thanks mate 👌 lip is holding up fine clearance can be challenging but the angle it sits at and the material it’s made from mean it acts a bit like a skid plate 😆
Hi. Can you tell me where you got the infotainment screen from please.
Hi mate sorry for the delay. Yeah I bought it from eBay from this seller www.ebay.co.uk/str/allwayautouk
Just checked and they have it listed as available on their US EBAY store here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264953090890
@iamandisykes amazing thank you. 👍
@user-fr3np6xt8m pleasure 👌
Any idea what colour that is??? Blue vela 400?
Hi sorry I’ve been away. I’ll check today
@@iamandisykes legend ty
This is great. I just subscribed.
Thanks mate 😁
Absolutely love alfas 1st was a twin spark 156 current one is a gt cloverleaf awesome
Hybrid ???????
This was arguably my favourite at shedfest. I was in the Citroen AX 😜
Mate I really appreciate that 😊
Stick with silver wheels. Don't go black!
@willster500 yup I’ve decided to keep them silver 🙌
I have a GTV 1.8 16v TS purchased in 1999, currently 144 km. It's a car that has never given me problems, it has seen my mechanic 4/5 times in 24 years, only for oil and filter changes, a super reliable car as well as being one of the most BEAUTIFUL cars ever built by the old and legendary Alfa. Romeo. Ciao dalle (Marche) Italia
Glad to hear that… i have a GTV 1.8, too and it‘s a great car! 🥰🍀
I just bought a 2nd hand fatty frame and it has no headset. Anyone have any info about which one I need? I can't find the spec anywhere
Audi A2?
😮🤫
