The following are guides to some of the maintenance tasks needed on an Alfa Romeo Spider. They are intended to give an informative and interesting indication of the work involved, rather than an exhaustive instruction. We would, of course, always suggest you take your vehicle to an Alfa Romeo specialist, but if you're doing your own maintenance, you must always use a model specific workshop manual and rigorously follow all safety advice contained within it.
We will be building up the list of items covered over the next few months.
