 Alfa - bathtub tom
I saw, briefly, under the bonnet of a four cylinder Alfa recently. It had twin overhead cams and twin plugs per cylinder. What I thought was strange were the two distributors, one on the end of a camshaft and the other lower down at the front of the engine.

Then I noticed the two brake servos on the nearside wing at ninety degrees to each other.

Creative engineering?

Sorry BT, not a clue; don't really understand the question. I know servos are a thing, and distributors are another thing - but only a petrol engine one. But what's the connection? Isn't one electrical and the other hydraulic? And how would two of either help? Redundancy?

I can't help on the technical side. But the new Giulia is a breath of fresh air in the compact exec class. At last a viable alternative to a German car. If I was in the market for a new company car, I know what my BiK would go on!

You'll probably find many company car schemes avoid FIAT/Alfa.
