Ottimo stato... Blu scuro, 235000 Km. manutenzione e tagliandi regolari. Bollo pagato fino ad Agosto 2006. Prezzo: 1000 Euro Per chi fosse veramente interessato è possibile visionarla e provarla. L'auto è a Roma. Vendo causa non utlizzo (a Roma oramai si gira e si parcheggia solo in moto).

Has anyone had any experience in removing the (external) rear view mirror from its housing? As per a previous post of mine, I had to replace my LH rear view mirror. Unfortunately it did not come complete with a a temp sensor. I still have the sensor from the old mirror, but it seems to be...

Hi everyone, Gabri (member) from Italy sent me the images and videos, I have uploaded them to my server. I will in time produce a proper page for them as they are simply in a folder on my server, but for now you can download the images and the videos by right clicking and saving each of the videos...

Dont know if anyone is intrested but whilst thumbing through a Car mechanics Mag, I came accross this book. I havnt bought it but it might be worth a read as we may find out a little more about the odd and wonderful things that the 156 trys to throw at us from time to time? follow this...

My clutch is currently dysfunctional due to a leak from the slave cylinder seal (in)conveniently located in the gearbox, what confuses me is that the brakes still work fine, even though both systems run from the same reservoir. Brake pedal has plenty of pressure, but the clutch pedal goes to the...

On the single zone A/C in a 156, I seem to remember that you can change what happens when you press the button that activates/deactivates the compressor. IIRC, in one mode, the 'compressor switch' remembers it's setting when the ignition is turned off and in the other, it turns the compressor on...

I have one of the 1000 of these ever made. My question is can I run it without the belt that drives the aircon unit. It doesnt drive anything else and I need to get the car home

Somebody having a free space to post 10 pics and 2 movies (46MB) shooted today in Milan of the new Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6 (they were filming the new commercial that will be out on October 31st) ? I had the privilege to sit inside of it, man i have to buy it! What a car, what a car.

I've had enough, I'm getting *very* angry now. There's someone on ebay, going by the name of 'italianspares' who seems to be on a mission to buy *every* 75 so he can break them for spares. I'm not joking, either. A 75 comes up for sale, he bids. He wins, he breaks. He's responsible for 5 or 6...

The 156 I ended up going to look at. Scuffed bumpers with peeling laquer. Dented and scratched sides. Bald front tyres. Finally, stupidly spaced numberplate: W6 14N J.R.

Hi All Does anyone know of any Alfa Romeo specialists in or around S.Wales? Cheers

I own a Giulia Gt Junior 1600, year 1975. I had to open the engine (a brass gone) and my cylinder block was in really bad conditions. A lot of corrosion, the seal with the Barrels was obtained using mastic. So I had to find a new block. I bought one at a pretty good price, I don't know in the other...

I have a problem with my lights some of the lamps lights very very low (the ones on the back that are on the same phisical lamp as the STOP light) and it lights like that always ... even with the engine turned off and the keyes removed. Also when i start the front lights and remove that lamp and...

Well, thats typical Alfa .... they say. 6 monts ago I experienced the first problems with my keycode / immobiliser on my 1998 156-1.8. It didn't function anymore, but the amber coloured 'code' LED on display didn't lit up either. Starting with the emergency procedure however did help me. After a...

Hi, I am in the process of switching a 3.0 bottom end, and have a few questions on the rear head, does the oil pump drive gear need to be disconected, if so where is the access. where are the match marks on the cam gears, I can not see any. After I roll the engine forward and remove the rear...

Am I right in thinking that you need to do these every 36k miles? I'm looking at a 164 24v at the moment, but it's done 104k miles, with the last change at 60k miles. Should I be budgeting for a change ASAP? If so, it's not worth it..... 'cos I've seen one for 300 quid more that's just had the...

How much would I be looking at to stick either a turbo or a supercharger on my 2.0 JTS 156. See if I can boost those horses from 165 to over 200. Warranty is up at the end of the month, so the car is 'free'.! How about insurance difference - anyone any experience of that?
