2007 coupe Ltd.: Let's start with the low brake pedal. A year ago I replaced the front brake pads and first just bled the front brakes - no good. Then went through the left rear, right rear, right front, and left front drill. Still sucked. Did it again, no difference. I was told I'd get used to it. I don't claim to be an expert, but even though they're vintage cars, I've managed - generally after a lot of work - to get a good pedal on the Alfa's I restore from the ground up. Is the ABS system the problem for getting all of the air out of the fluid?

Problem: i've just bought an '05 SRT-6 Coupe (56K miles) so need to sell this very nice car other than the brake pedal situation...and filter leaking.

When test driving the SRT-6 I was astounded by the stop on a dime with less than an inch pedal. I want close to that - pedal wise - for this car before I list it.

Oil filter: It leaks. I've not searched the ends of the earth, but can't find a filter 'wrench' for it. Pep Boys have a 74mm 15 groove filter which won't work since it is supposed to be 14. Also, after I find one is the arrow on top of the filter indicating loosen or tighten? I have a bad feeling that after I've changed with the correct oil, installed a new filter (the good kind), it will still leak. Too bad Mercedes hadn't heard about metal canister type oil filters back in '03. Essentially it is the same set-up on the '58 & '62 Alfa Spiders in my shop.
