not perfect, but the lights were in very bad nick, you'd need EV sealant as well, amazon do a 50ML one, but out of stock atm

Change the plastic coolant pipe wich is under the egr manifold due to haviving a slight leek also why it was in bits I changed all the coolant.

Then done the usual checked all fluids and plems wich was all fine

Well, as a newcomer to the breed I've been on a bit of a steepish learning curve, I've had my zt - t for a few weeks now and progress has been rather swift. I new it had a few niggling issues when I bought it (being along term alfa owner , I was kinda used to it) main issues were rattling inlet, scuffed wheels, and just generally grubby. Paint correction work is not a problem so that's more or less sorted, wheels I have now painted in a satin gunmetal which IMHO now look fantastic against the trophy blue.
But.. by far the best thing I've done...and this is the point of posting in this thread due to the fact ive done it today is that I've removed the inlet...gutted the insides and refitted. Well, the only thing i can say is WOW! What a difference, my sister has a 190 which she had a brand new inlet fitted a month ago which i thought was nippy, but mine now pulls better across the whole range so I'm properly pleased. What a car!
Pics to follow if anyone wants to see it.
Sorry for the long post...
