I recently removed the pollen filter from my '99 2.0 TS, it didn't have a cover over the housing and now water is pouring in after any amount of rain! Should it have had some form of cover, if so I will make one of sorts. Any ideas?

After a long time waiting for one to come up, I've finally managed to acquire an Alfa 156 JTD Veloce in red of course. Picking it up Saturday. TonyB

Disaster? On journey down to south west, light came on with message as title. Engine runs with slight hesitation but continued for 75 miles without mishap. What could it be? I've had a turbo pipe blow before.....seems different. Oh yeah it's a 1.9 JTD. Cheers. Jim

Got the 156 today, chuffed to bits with it. It's been serviced but the service indicator has not been re-set. Does anyone know how to do that? Otherwise it's fine, I found £1 and 5p together with a box of Tictacs and some sweets and girly bits behind the rear seat. Just need to figure out the...

This post is the same question that I just asked in uk.rec.driving. After converting a petrol engine to LPG, can the car still use petrol as a backup, or is it LPG only? Anyone converted an Alfa? 2.0JTS specifically. GT

Has any one done any work on the heater blower or speed control Unit. Even where it is would be an help. Cheers

SWMBO, as a part of the belt-tightening is planning to sell her beloved MX5 and buying an Alfa 147. Cash is an issue, and there are a few nice looking examples on Autotrader and Ebay at around the £1200-£1300 mark. So is there anything specific to look for on these other than the...

how do we stop this rubbish ?

Hi guys - I'm new to this forum. I was given an old Alpha Spider 1974 as a wedding present - and its sitting in a garage in Italy without a license plate and a mechanic saying I need to change some things to get it to pass its Italian mot. I was told that ironically it might be cheaper to find...

Lesleys 03 eg blue 1.8 MX5 is up for sale. 6 moths tax, MOT March 2011, 104k miles, good condition, one lady owner (for past 18 months) OE hood, unmarked black leather interior, the odd minor scratch. Currently on Autotrader for £3.5k, sensible offers from here considered. --

My '99 vintage 156 TS is now 11 years old, coming up for an (expensive) 280 000Km service! Have to change cambelt once again. A while ago, I noticed a sticker on the doorframe stating that the airbags should have had the gas cylinder(s) recharged by 2009. I'll get that checked at the service,...

Where has the JTS option gone on the 159?? alfa romeo website car configurator offers the 1750 tb as the only petrol option now! I would have thought that the 2.2 JTS would be much torquier and relaxed drive than the 1750 turbo and similar BHPs. When did this happen and why wasn't I informed!!

Google for 159 1750tbi (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=159+1750tbi) and the first thing on the sponsored links box (RHS) is a link to a traumatic brain injury website. Are they trying to tell us something about your mental state if you buy one? Or perhaps mental state required before buying one? Its a...

Anyone know if the cargo net accessory is the same size for the 156 saloon (2002) as the estate? (The stretchy net thingy that clips into the bottom of the boot to stop your pint of milk and mars bar from rolling around)

I saw one in the wild today. Blimey, that's one *lovely* looking car. C -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
