Hey, I own a 144 bhp 156 now; but I want to buy a 147, 105 or 120 bhp. I'm thinking 105 bhp is a bit low for the 147; does anyone know where can I find some tests, preferrably one test with the 105 and 120 bhp versions? Thanks! Guido

My wife's 147 2.0TS has started to creak/squeak when turning left. Firstly is this a common 147 issue and what is it likely to be? Secondly it is in the third year Alfacare warranty period. The local dealer told my wife they would charge nearly £70 to diagnose the problem then the actual work may...

Lesley's 147 2.0TS is using quite a bit of oil. The oil is very clean, the seller told us it had a recent service with oil & filter change. So clean that it is almost impossible to see it on the dip-stick, you have to feel for it. Folowing it last week I noticed when she floored it to...

Is the Brera designed to take the place of the 147 ?? Do the readers expect 147 prices to fall with the release of the Brera ?? (thinking of ading a friend for the 156 in year or so.. and wondering what I should be looking to save for a 4-5 year old basic model, prob 1.6/1.8, for the mrs).

I have a 147 1.6TS Nov 2003 R hand drive. With the recent heavy rainstorms I have water coming into the Front passenger footwell via , it appears, the heater outlet. Where is the water drain for the heater air intake situated? I think this could be the cause although with the ferocity of some of...

Anyone know (fcukers at a well known tyre fitting emporium cross threaded the bugger - six months ago and I've only just found out....)?

My driver's side windscreen wiper went up and then came down at a strange angle. Took it to the Alfa Dealer who eventually, after a week, said there aren't any; not in this country, not at the Italian spares warehouse and none at the supplier. What a nightmare. Looks like I'm without my car...

Car: 147-Selespeed. (2001/2002) Problem Description: While driving the (usually on “city” mode) the car would stay in one gear, i.e. 3rd, and would not change to a higher or a lower. Even when I try to use the gear lever. Even when I press the “city” button (to turn it off) it refuses. This led me...

Hi,I want to buy new 17" rims for my 156.Can anyone tell me what is the right offset (ET)?I think that there is a precise offset value because I noticed that there is very small space between the inner side of the tire and the suspension.So I don't want to buy 4 new wheels that don't fit. Thank you...

Blimey. Driving that Alfa a while back must have got to Jeremy. Tonight he was raving about the new 166 and loving the new Autodelta 147 GTA in the same program. What next???? Pete ======remove the rust to reply====== > 156 2.0 TS (2001) - Proteo Rosso (his) 147 2.0 TS...

I seem to vaguely remember reading somewhere that the 156 2.0 went from 155bhp down to 150bhp around 2000 due to emission controls. Can anyone tell me if this is true and if so from which engine / chassis number range or how you identify which one you have? Thanks..Dave

Hi, I had to do this a while back when the screws got loose and have complete forgotten the trick ;-) How do you get the arm rest off the drivers seat on a 155? It's a 96 V6 if they're different. Thanks

Unfortunately, I'm no longer in a position to host this..... my bandwidth has been caned in a big way by the large number of requests I've had for it. If anyone is in the position to host a fairly high-traffic 650mb download give me a shout. Cheers, --

Hi, I've just changed the bulbs of the reverse lights and fog lights, but the lights still doesn't work. So I guess either it's the sockets or the wiring. (I just wondered if this is a typical issue, before I start looking with my voltmeter) Does anyone have any suggestions/tips where to start...

Hi all car is 156 1.8 1999 (UK T) 39k on the clock. When going slowly (<20mph), if I break (usually softly - ie in a traffic queue) I can hear a quiet knocking. It appears to come from the drivers side but other than that its hard to tell. If I roll and the break again it doesn't happen, but then...
