1971 Alfa Spider 1750 - Front upper control arm locating washers... by
SteveC
Hi Folks,
A while ago, I replaced the upper control arms on my '71 Alfa Spider
1750. The arm I replaced incorporates the upper ball joint, but also
it has a bushing near the ball joint to connect with the other upper
arm (the locating arm?) which secures things towards the front of...

2l TS, as many years ago, my Alfetta sprung a leak in it's cylinder head

Tyres again by
Tony Rickard
Having had to change all four tyres on my 156 V6 I engaged in a few
conversations with tyre sellers. This view that rear tyres should be better
than fronts on FWDs really seems to have taken hold in the instructions
coming from the manufacturers.
One seller tried to persuade me to have harder...

Very shy Alfa - won't open up to anyone... by
Steve W
I've had my Alpha 156 v6 for 4 years now (98 model).
We've been through all the usual problems - electrics, tyre shredding and
brake disk chomping without bearing each other any (apparent) malice.
However, tonight after getting home from work, I got out of the car, closed
the door and opened the...

HELP - GTV TS Injection Light by
Andy Wilson
On my the GTV 2ltr TS the injection light has just come on whilst driving,
the handbook just says drive to an Alfa agent.
What are the normal reasons for this light to come on and what can I do
myself, other than drive to an Alfa garage?
All help appreciated.

Alfa 156 2.0 TS 1999 by
Chenan
The garage is advising me about changing the cambelt after 60,000 km. I
disagree because the maintenance manual talks about 120,000 km, but they
insist it is because the car is 5 years old, not because the km. What do you
think?

Headlight deflectors by
estecman
Hi all, does anybody know if there are Alfa 156 headlight deflectors for
driving in the UK, as I'm from mainland europe???
Or is there a way to adjust the lights under the bonnet for UK driving, as
cars like BMW etc have this setting???
Cheers

The seller suggests it's an easy repair.
I'd suggest it's terminally bent.

MOT Fail :-( by
SteveH
For the 155, that is.
Corrosion has made a small hole in the driver's side wheel arch.
Brake bias valve seized.
Headlamp aim low. (Why they didn't use the electric adjuster on the
dash, I don't know)
Broken Exhaust Rubber.
I'm more than slightly dubious about all of the above, mainly because
the...
