Were there issues with the handbrake on there? A guy in work had one and some connecting part broke and it effectively wrote the car off as there was no spares availability. This was some time ago so maybe that’s not the case now.

Cam belt was apparently done 400 miles ago , but yes is the first thing I am gonna check was done and done properly. I have had 2 of these engines in my previous 145 cloverleafs so I know how important regular changes are. Although Alfa only changed recommendations to 36k and every 3years in 2006, previously it was 72k !
