Have a look at this: http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=dalbat007&co mpleted=1&all=1&rows=25&sort=3 It appears the seller with the 156 I was interested in is into shill bidding in a big way, so sod that. I've reported him instead.

They just know don¹t they. This motor control system thing started the morning I was taking the 147 in to get the clutch checked out. The garage takes the car out for 2 test drives and will the clutch play up? NO IT WON¹T!!!!! I Get in the car to come home, 2 minutes later the clutch plays up. I...

Hello, My (t)rusty Sprint has has just developed a coolant leak from what appears to be a core plug in the front of the water pump, although not one of my various repair manuals shows that particular model of water pump. When the engine is hot there's a fast drip, about an eggcupful a minute and...

My ICS screen displays an "Airconditioning failure please contact service centre" on my Alfa 166. I have had the software updates 3 time in New Zealand at the agents. There doesn't seem to be faulty but it happens everytime I start the car and occasionaly when on a long trip. Pressing the "Climate"...

Help!!! Hope someone can, my 147 has just started giving a ³Motor Control System Failure² when we first start the car, it stays on for only a couple of seconds then disappears. My local Alfa dealership have checked it over and say they don¹t know why it is doing it as the log in it¹s little black...

There was an Afla on the series preview clips of the new season of Top Gear in the UK 2 nite Only showed the front, It was Silver and I am assuming it will be the Brera or the 159 - anyone know more? Thanks, Andy Mak

Hello, I'm looking to get a 147 and spending about 8k...Anything to watch for especially ? It's been 20 years since I owned an Alfa...(Sud)... Not bothered about the No. of doors, would prefer leather & alloys, not sure about the engines, my wife had a 2.3 Saab 900S and wants something with...

Saw a photo of the 149 on the internet today (www.cartoday.com) - looks rather odd in front! -- regards, Malcolm Osborne Benoni, South Africa 156 2.0TS (1999)

I have just bought this and im mildly excited! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4636244067 However, before buying an Alfa 156 I went on confused.com and decided insurance would be about 500 quid per year. Now I have the reg number it is coming out at 1100 quid, is it because...

Hi all, I bought a fantastic used 2.0 GTV about 6 weeks ago with 65k on the clock. Then, the huge smile that I'd been carrying aorund for the past few weeks was promptly wiped from my face when a conn rod failed and ended up destroying the engine block :( I've found a recon engine, £1200 fully...

OK, my mileage has dropped massively and a JTD is no longer cost effective for me. Thinking of getting a 156 2.0 JTS, but I'm a bit confused about the trim levels. What's the difference between Veloce 1 & 2 ? Also is it only the Veloces that have the side skirts ? Which ones have the...

On a 1998 / 1999 156 2lt TSpark? I know you get leather, but are there any other extras on top of that? -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark Lusso - Fiat Marea 20v...

Hi, I have recently broken the spare key for my beloved 156 and after some phone calls to my usual garage (Coupers in St. Albans) found the only place I can get one is from an Alfa main dealer - damn. Having rung Desira in north London I was quoted £120 and a 5 day wait. What planet are these...

Just when my perfect Alfa pops up on ebay (155 TSpark Super - with the essential climate control) - I have it confirmed that I've passed the online tests and scored an interview for a job with a car. Unfortunately, said interview is the day after the auction ends, meaning I'll have to let it go...

Picked up my 2.0 TS 156 today and can barely stop grinning. It does everything I want it to do and looks reasonably grown up, well at least till I put a big boot spoiler on it. I would recommend one to anybody. Rick
