as quoted by top gear "every petrolhead should own an alfa at some point in their life" so if your going to own one atleast own a good looking one like a gtv but if its not on offer for £100 and you got to give proper money for one buy a gtv6. even if its only to look at the 6 chrome intake pipes every time you open the bonnet. alfa for the win honda for the reliability

I owned an alfa 75 2 litre tspark it was awesome and it had vtec

Vatiable cam phasing -not lift.

There are good ones, but there are good chambers in russian roulette!

so due to the fact i cannot sleep past half seven got out this morning and checked no leaks in the power steering piping but i think i may have found the problem when i took the aux belt off i got an extra come off with it

although after looking at the pump job looks pretty straight forward d/s engine mount off jack engine up to give me the angle i need three bolts then take the pump out replace the seals new pump in (once i get one) aux belt back on engine mount back on job done so now off to look for a cheap pump probably only get round to that start of next week as its not raining so the lude will be getting washed
