Hello folks, Thought I'd ask the audience for some advice before I leap in with my screwdriver ! Both front windows on our Alfa 164 (2.0TS) intermittently stop working. The nearside blows the 30A fuse occasionally, and the offside window wont move (or gets stuck). You can here a small relay...

All, I am fairly new to the Alfa world - bought my first used 156 1.8 petrol (t reg - 1999) about 3 weeks ago. A strange thing I have noticed however, is the uneven acceleration I get in 2nd. If I move off, up into 2nd and then floor it (or even just get a little enthusiastic with the throttle),...

Being a new owner of a 156 I'm starting to learn all the delights of owning and driving an Italian car, but one thing that's really bugging me at the moment is as regards putting petrol in the car. I've tried at 5 different fuel stations, but everytime the same thing happens. Nozzle goes in, fuel...

Can anyone recommend someone in the Reading or Basingstoke areas that can do a minor sideswipe repair job? No dents, but scrapes to nearside front wheel arch and nearside front door. It would be nice to know that I'm going to get a good finish with the correct paint (Fire Black metallic in my...

Hi group, This is a problem my Alfa 156 2.4 JTD (2002) has had for a long time. Sometimes it is very hard to press the pedal all the way to the floor, and sometimes it goes very smooth. Like I said, it has been this way a long time, and it's doesn't seem to harm the car. But it's annoying...

Over the last couple of years, the amount of driving I've been able to do has diminished drastically, due to deteriorating vision. Not able to easily see any distance and CRT's were even difficult to view. Blurred ~everything~ was my world. A few months ago diagnosed as having cataracts. Night...

Hi, What is the sensor for on the rear view mirror on a AR 166 ? I thought it was to sense daytime and night-time and auto adjust the ICS screen colour but the ICS screen colour changes when you switch the head lights on. - can't find anything in the handbook. cheers DJ

Since a few months the engine of my 156 SW 1.6 is running poor from 1750 to 2500 rpm. If you try to run it at an constant rpm, the engine is not running smooth (NL: de motor houdt in) and at idle the rpm varies from 800 upto 1300. The dealer resetted the motor management computer, but without...

Hi all car is 156 1.8 1999 (UK T) 39k on the clock. When going slowly (<20mph), if I break (usually softly - ie in a traffic queue) I can hear a quiet knocking. It appears to come from the drivers side but other than that its hard to tell. If I roll and the break again it doesn't happen, but then...

Hi, Just a simple question before I decide what to do. Is the front window of a 1993 Alfa 33 glued in place or just suspended in rubber? If it's suspended in rubber, I'll just go out to the junkyard to buy one, but if it's glued it would be wiser to go to the local car glass service. --- Regards,

Was downtown the other night waiting at traffic lights, minding my own business and a Celica rolled up next to me with 2 kiddies in it, revving and doing other things that jap-car owners have to do to get noticed. I was more than happy to oblige, of course so I force fed them some dust and never...
