Rear Light change on 147 by
Paul Woodsford
I thought the rear lights on my Black 147 could do with a change as I
thought they were too dull compared with the rest of the excellent design.
Any comments?

Sat Nav problems by
NickSW15
Can anyone shed any light on the following?
My location on the sat nav map display when parked is correct. As soon as
I start driving the arrow (depicting my car and which way it's pointing)
spins round and goes off in a crazy direction.
Amusing, but also annoying...
Any help most appreciated....

Just put a deposit on a 1998 156 2.0 TS - slightly concerned as price
seemed low (4000) for the mileage (under 50,000)
Looks to be in excellent condition (left front wheel makes grinding
noise - seems to be worn pads) but dealer assures this will be fixed
before delivery
Any thoughts - or are...

20% increase in BHP...with a resistor????? by
156 SP3
There are people on ebay selling a 'mod' to increase the power of any
car.....seems this is just a resistor added to one of the sensors connected
to the ECU.

it!!)....is it total ******** as I suspect, or does it really...
