Is the GT the ideal car? by
Catman
It must be damned close. So far it's been high speed motorways, then
today, I loaded a Christmas Tree into the damned thing!
*Fantastic*!

Failing battery by
GT[_12_]
Doing too many short trips these days and I've had to charge the battery
twice so far this month.
A 70 mile roundtrip (start+37 miles, stop, start+37 miles), seems to put
about 15 or so 'starts' back into it and turns the indicator green.
Unfortunately, we keep doing short 1-2 mile trips...

I Doubt It by
Zathras
What's the chances of the upcoming Alfa 1750 TBI (petrol turbo)
actually sounding like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCUw8gzpTnw
None..I think. Sounds more like a tuned 6, possibly a 12, to me.
Traumatic brain injury - an excellent description for an Alfa?

DAMP! 156 by
Simon Bothwell
My 1999 156 is constantly damp internally, is there a pollen filter or
similar that could be holding water?

Windscreen washer jets clogged by
GT[_12_]
Windscreen washers. 4 holes at passenger side, 3 are blocked. 4 holes at
drivers side, 2 holes are blocked and 1 is dribbling. How do I get to clean
them without removing too much 'car'? I have tried a pin etc, but they need
to be removed and/or jetted somehow.

Sillyspeed... by
SteveH[_2_]
I should have known this would happen.
Car is a 2002 built (facelift interior) 2.0 Selespeed Veloce.
Fault code: P1742 - Selection Range Sensor.
Am I correct in assuming this is the actuator, and will be hugely
expensive to fix?
On the other hand, I joined the ranks of the Italian...

MOT Time! by
R C Nesbit
Having bought the 156 with 10 months MOT on it, I
mis-remembered that the MOT ran out on 5th Nov!
Any road, it went in today, and failed!
Previous MOT had an Advisory that there was a leak in the
flexible exhaust hose.
This time it failed on the same thing! :^(
On the plus side, it is now much...

Dead 159 by
Simon Mason
The 159 died last night in the driveway. I traced the fault to the fact that
the quick release clamp to the negative battery post was barely of a small
enough diameter to actually grip the post. Had to wrap some aluminium foil
around it to make it wider. Poor design.

156 Speedo failed any ideas? by
David A Stocks[_3_]
156 2.4 JTD 2000.
It dropped to zero about 30 miles from home on a long journey yesterday -
and the miles have stopped clocking up as well. It sometimes comes back but
not for very long. AFAIAA it gets its feed from the ABS wheel sensors. The
ABS system still seems to work OK - no warning lights...

and how significant are the differences between the the 1.9 and the 2.4?

Pikey tyres by
R C Nesbit
The 156 was in need of a pair of front tyres, but since my
financial partners pulled out in June I am flat broke most
of the time.
So I called in to The Tyre Shop, purveyors of cheap rubber
to the denizens of Ollerton (ex mining village) and bought
a pair of economy branded fronts for the...

3 Questions in 1 post... by
GT[_11_]
Q1 - MAFs:
I can relate to the "scalded cat / bus" post the other day and I have read
the "dirty or faulty MAF" answer to so many similar posts that I presume
this is also my problem, but not being particularly mechanically
confident...
MAF = Mass Air Flow. Clearly the engine needs the right...
