Just a reminder

Spring is just around the corner, so a little reminder that now is
the time to change the air in the tyres of our Alfa's. Old air
results in inferior handling and higher fuel consumption and Alfa
recommends air replacement every 20000 km or 12 months, whichever
comes sooner.

Although it occasionally shows up on eBay at inflated prices, NOS
pressurised air (105.64.01.04.20/06) is now very hard to find.
However, the modern air provided at many service stations makes an
acceptable substitute provided authenticity is not a major concern.

Don't forget the spare tyre too!

Very good advice!
I did mine this morning and the car runs much better.

My dealer charged me £50. Apparently all the tyres needed flushing out
as I had put in "dirty" air from a Supermarket forecourt. All fine now,
not sure if I was ripped though?
