I had my Cam belt and 5yr service done back in October at Wessex (who were at the time the Bristol dealership). If you decide to use them...be wary on their pricing! I had 2 different prices quoted only a week apart at nearly £300 difference. I argued their pricing and managed to get it at the lower quote.

They've now lost the contract with Abarth and it's moved to Simonstone on the Bath Road. I've not used them for anything yet, but have heard much better reviews about them.

Alfanet in Fishponds are Alfa/Italian specialist and seem very knowledgeable...I was going to use them to do my Cambelt but had to stick with the dealer for the warranty.

There is an Alfa specialist in wootton bassett - Optima I think. I imagine they would be able to help.

Thanks both. In the end I went with the Fiat/Abarth dealer in Chippenham as they were happy to do a cam belt/water pump change only. I spoke with Simonstone and they only had a price for a full service and cam belt - £780!

£780....that's cheap compared to what Wessex tried charging me. They wanted £975 on their 2nd quote. I think I ended up paying £775 after some arguing.
