OK your wish is my command (hey that’s your line) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Clarification question ...Did the leasing company ever know about the problems with the Alfa BEFORE the car blew up?

Was all the oil loss internal (burnt) or was there a visible leak?

Owners manual, did it say check the oil every week (say along with tyre pressure ect) OR every time you use the car

Did the owners manual say, have a full service every 20,000 km OR does it give a list of tasks that need doing at set Km (20,000 then 40,000) OR is it a mixture of both?

Did the garage after the service, in which you brought it in early, put a sticker on your window screen or similar to say when the next service was? (common practice) Did they give you anything in writing to say when the next service was? (this is going to be the crucial area)

How did you notice that the car was running low on oil when new?

Has anybody else, through owners clubs/ internet, had simalar problems with the engine. Was this type of defect a known problem with Alfa Romeo?
