Alloy Wheels by
Tom Boltwood
I've just come into some 164 3.0 Super alloys. However, my TSpark is 4 stud
and the 3.0 was 5 Stud. Stupidly, I assumed that 164s would all have the
same wheel fixings. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to wheels, so can
anyone tell me:
a) why they have different stud patterns on these...

Alfa Milano Cam Timing by
Dev Cloete
Hi,
A cambelt tensioner pulley broke on a 16V Milano and fortunately no valves
were bent. However the cams jumped a few teeth and having made new

New 156 - poor gearchange. by
Martin
Hi,
I have a new (2004, 175BHP) 156 2.4 JTD SW (6 speed). The gearchange seems
particularly bad - I'm sure the one I test drove was OK.
Basically, it is very "notchy", not fluid at all. It "seems" to be worse
when cold (less than 10 miles), and when the weather is cooler.
Every gear appears...

Apparently my problems to get her started was due to two problems:

the acceleration pump on 1/2 is...

156 V6 spark plugs by
Ppelectron
I'm just wondering how easy it is to remove the spark plugs on a 156 V6? I
gather you have to remove part of the engine to gain access but it's not
obvious which part from looking at it. Has anyone done this? It has been a
simple job on my other cars, but the Alfa is in a different league!
