Parts source needed? by
Paul Calman
Hi, Can any of you recommend a good place to find parts for Alphas?
I am looking for a headlamp switch, but it's a combo with turn and wipers on
an 86 Spider Veloce.
I would prefer to find NOS rather than used.
Thank you,

GTV side repeaters by
Mike Anthony
Hi all.
The side repeater on my 1982 Alfetta GTV just stopped working and I'm
ashamed to say I have totally failed to get the unit out to investigate :-(
It's one of the later models so it has the square type repeaters, I've tried
pushing, pulling, twisting and even my usual Alfa 'stand-by'...

156 Side Skirts by
Stuart James Ewen
My '00 156 Lusso does not have any side skirts on it. So, I was thinking
about getting am original set. I believe the Veloce has clips, or at
least, recesses in the bodywork for the clips to fit into. Does the Lusso
have the same thing, or will I need to bond them on?
Thx

car on icy roads with a rather rough surface. The car is really nice, but I

some action the engine, for some reason just stopped delivering. On my...

Lost Service Book - what can I do? by
BigBurd
I've lost my service book for my five year old 156, which I've owned
from new, and had serviced for the first 4 years at the same Alfa
Dealer. I've asked them whether they have it, and they say no (whether
they looked or not is another question). I actually suspect it's them
that lost it, but...

Removing speedometer glass? by
Frank Lenaerts
Oi oi oi,
I've recently baught a GT and was suffering from the known 147-dash-rattle
(probably due to the colder weather). I found out it was the hard-plastic
of the dials, with the rubber of the dash itself, that caused it. I treated
it with a silicon based spray for keeping rubbers flexible. ...

155 arm rest by
Nick Brooker
Hi,
I had to do this a while back when the screws got loose and have
complete forgotten the trick ;-)
How do you get the arm rest off the drivers seat on a 155? It's a 96 V6
if they're different.
Thanks

Alfa 156 1.8TS engine stops then won't start for 10 mins by
johnafish
This week my Alfa 156 (1999) has started to cut-out, basically the engine
just stops (like it's been turned off) when this happens it won't start
again for 10 or 20 minutes. When it does eventually start it'll run for
another 5-15 mins perfectly well then stops again. There's no misfire...
