New subscriber. Chin up, you've got a nice set up there and 30k subs. Onwards and upwards. Nice job on the Mito. I'm a Saab/Volvo man myself. I'd like an Alfa project one day, In the meantime I'll enjoy the content and the knowledge you have for this marque 👍
Alfa Mito, grande piccola auto. Non capisco come mai, non sia stata tanto apprezzata nel mio paese (Italia). Io ne ho avuta una del 2014, attualmente ne ho una del 2009. Ad oggi se dovessi cambiare auto, cercherei una altra mito.
Good work as always Neil! Greetings from Northern Finland. We have 3 h 3 minutes between sunrise and sunset today so I know what you mean about everything being a little on the dark side. :)
Nice video, I had to change the radiator on my MiTo 3 weeks ago on my own, the only thing left to do is to replace those easy to break bumper brackets :/
I drive a Mito, so I will go a bit biased here Neil, and say do more Mito videos! Great repair! Also, I like the music in this one. P.S. please don't stop filming videos! Maybe it is just a bad period and views are gonna get up again! Also, there are suggestions in other comments to maybe add the estimated and total cost of repairs or something similar to change things around a bit.
Nice video. Maybe you can add a list at the end with the cost of parts and the labour time like they do onthe TV-show wheeler dealers. Would help people with crashed alfa's who are to far off to get to your workshop to do a little cost estimation themselves.
Yes I would like to see new things added to this well proven concept. Some additional info about the parts would be very welcome. How you purchase them, when you use strictly OEM parts and when maybe not. I know this all adds to the amount of work when doing the videos but I think it would be worth the try. And maybe do less videos but with more info if it's too labourous on this rate of publishing.
That's a nice save Neil..... that Mito looks stunning in red! Really appreciate all the hard work you put into this & all your YT videos. Don't know how long it took you to carry out this front end 'restoration', but it probably would have taken me weeks! 👍
Just subscribed even though I’ve seen loads of your vids Keep up the good work I’m nuts about Italians and have the last classic Panda VIP an Abarth 595 competizione Now building a Strada 130 tc into a road legal rally car Look forward to more content
Interesting video! Being the owner of a 2017 Mito it was good to see how they fix together. Maybe a way forward Neil? showing how to do minor self repairs.
@@uplerr. Pensa, io a Febbraio ho lasciato la mia dal meccanico, poi venduta, e mi sono preso una giulietta t-jet. Non ne potevo più del multiair, bel motore, ma troppo sofisticato.
Great video as always Neil, are you finding it hard to get Mito parts? I can’t get a high level brake light for my Mito for love nor money, on back order everywhere
The 2008 one I stripped was ex-Scotland, & 80% of the bolts were rusted badly & snapped as soon as you looked at them, the bottom bumper bolts were impossible to remove without damaging the bumper.. that one looked nice & easy in comparison!
nice repair Neil. Had to deal with the frozen hosepipe as well and was desperate to wash my car today and get the salt and grit off the underside. Managed to thaw hose by taking it inside and washed the car today (in the rain :))
I am subscribed and have the bell icon checked. For some reason I dont get notifications, so I always have to look for your videos. I love the content!!
@@ItaliaAutos Is it possible to email you or call you about some work I want done for an Alfa Romeo mito 2009? If I cannot find anyone local and get a quote please and estimation on how long it would take ? Thanks Neil I appreciate I am not the only one that likes Italian cars.
Hi, nice video. I also own a Mito and im suprised how liked they are outside of italy. I am suprised how much afford you put into fixing that car aswell as in italy they are very cheap and not very rare at all, I kinda hate mine for varius reasons, I will list them if anyone is curios maybe some of them are not the cars fault but something is damaged.
Nice video. I won that car the week before at auction, but didn't meet the reserve, and then missed it when it came up again. I seem to remember it had super low mileage
Hey Neil,ive bought myself a Mito 2009 1.4tb recently and I need to take the front bumper off to flush my coolant and reconnect rear washer hose to the pump(I can't get in there without taking off the bumper). Problem is I can't get the torx screws holding the bumper from under the wheel well out. It seems that they got grinded out,I tried getting them out with T30 bit but either it kept skipping or it wouldn't budge at all,I even tried with penetrating fluid. Any possible experience with that or advice? Thanks alot.
Hi Neil - Just a heads-up if you didn't know about it - they do a kit to replace the headlight mounts rather than the entire headlight - part number is 51514988. I only found out about it purely by chance! I think it was £34 last I got one (but that was about 4 years ago)
Hi Neil great video .....i maybe wrong Neil but did you do a video on a gtv spider reference replacing the outer sill, i cant seem to be able to find it
Hello neil Love your content man keep it up! I am the proud owner of an alfa 155 1.8 8v and have been having some problems while the car is idling the rpm don't stay at 1000 and fall below 800 sometimes. When i fully turn the wheel while parking (im guessing my power steering is causing this) the car might switch off if i don't give a tap. Have you ever come across smth like this? P.S i have new spark plugs and spark plug cables installed. Any help would be appreciated
hello friend, I also had a not big accident, I changed the front TV and the bumper and headlights, but now there are gaps between the hood and the bumper, it doesn’t sit evenly, how can I fix this?
I'm looking for a car for my daughter who has recently passed her test, but unless I'm mistaken aren't damage repair cars harder and more expensive to insure, especially for first timers? Obviously depends on whether it has been reported and logged by the insurer under cat D, N or S for example.
hi loved the video ,,,and i have liked ,,,and subscribed!!.......can i ask you does the mito really do 80mpg ? on motorway ...i am interested in buying one
Hello, Niel it seems that the threaded rod of your rivnut tool broke when you placed the rivnut. is it due to the low quality of the tool and how did you solve the problem?
Good day, I need your help with a part number? Please can you assist with those bumper duck insert you put in before the grill. I need them for mine left and right? Kind regards
Nice repair… it does my head in how little protection these daft modern flappy plastic “bumpers” give to what’s behind them. Criminal that a car like that is written off by insurance companies…. If they didn’t offer free courtesy cars a lot more crashes would get repaired affordably.
