F-1 Calendar by
Anna Lisa
Just thought I would let people know that if they are looking for a great
Formula One calendar they should go to:
www.conceptsi.com
The calendar has a spectacular 17.7" x 21.5" format and the quality and
contents of the photos is excellent. The photo of the BAR Honda blowing
up at Monaco is...

low batteries causing the selespeed to not function properly, build
quality, rattles and creaks, clutch issues etc. Does the new 04 156
JTS aleviate all these issues? I've got my eye on my dream car - a
silver 2004 156 JTS...

Tyre size by
Maciej Loret
Hello,
What winter tyre size should I use in my 156 2.0 Selespeed '99?
Summer tyres as an original equipment are 205/55/16.
In the manual I've found 205/55/16 and 185/65/15.
I prefer the smaller one, but I think it should be 195/65/15. Am I right?
Which ones do you use?

Alfa 155 door panels by
Christian Petersen
Hi,
How do I remove the door panels of an Alfa 155? I found 3 screws but
even with those removed, I couldn't take the panel off.
Is there some kind of clever magical trick? (I'd like to be able to put
the door panel back on again ;) )
Thank you,
CP, Denmark

Height adjustment headlights... by
VMax
Hi,
Just found out that the height adjustment for the head lights is working
only on the left side (from within the car)
What to check so the right side will work also?
Really don't want to go to the dealer since this can be expensive....
Any help appreciated.

Is obviously some kind of poorly executed ELIZA type engine designed to
