Dear all. I recently purchased a hard top for my 1991 spider (second hand). Can someone please send me the schematics of the hard top asa I feel I am missing various bits in order to secure it.

2002 156 Selespeed Very noticeable vibration when the air-con is switched on. In fact quite annoying when at a standstill as you feel it really obviously through the seat (and the steering wheel). Vibration completely vanishes when switched off. Any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks,

Hello, I have a question about my 146 1.9 TD. When I push the accellerator I hear a strange sound. It sounds like fluid that is being pushed trough a tube that's too narrow (squirting sound). The sound is located near the pedals. Anyone got a clue what this sound could be? Regards, Trienco Koster

Can anybody help? Everything I have read suggests that you can't deactivate the alarm in the UK because they don't give you the keys. But I am totally fed up with it. Two keys have now broken (the bridge contact underneath the button). I 'fixed' one by removing the cover with a knife and using...

How do I remove this from the dash without bending, breaking or scratching anything? I've got the black surround off (no great achievement) but the radio has refused to budge.
