Boot lid lever by
R D S

lever side by side?
I flicked the boot open the other day in error instead of the petrol cap,
realised what I had done and flicked the petrol cap open, then went through
the car wash having not shut the boot.

Cambelt change on a 156 by
Stuart
Hi,
I have decided to change the cambelt on my 2002 Alfa 156 which has covered
45K miles before the inevitable happens.
Can anyone recommend a decent garage around either Milton Keynes or St
Albans and advise how much this will cost??
Thanks

[email protected]
Hi,
I need to change splark plugs on my Alfa 156 2.0.
Mechanic recommends me Champion splark plugs because NGK are not

Thanks.

DrLargePants
Anyone had the dual zone climate control pump out cold air from one
side and hot from the other when both dials are set to 'low' ?
The cars also started making some odd rumbling noises when the climate

166 stereo by
PeterMcC
Stereo suffered a progressive collapse over about 12 hours, no cassette,
then no CD player, then no radio, then nuffink.
The 166 stereo is built into the central control panel - there isn't an
actual radio unit, hence the Alfa dealer's initial suggestion of going to
Halford's and buying a...

Induction systems by
catman
OK, it's like this
Went to change the air filter on my '98 156 only to find that (like all
the series ones) the fixings on the air box were utterly FUBAR. Some PO
had molished some screws in to hold the 'cap' on, but getting them out

[email protected]
Esteemed Alfisti --
I have a 1986 Spider Veloce with 171,000 miles, which I acquired last
year.
Its previous owners treated it very well but of course it continues to
age. Lately, the 1st and 2nd gear syncros have become "particular" and
