Hi, I am new to this group, I think I have a fairly easy question - I just hope it's not what I think it is. Let me start by saying the car has run beautifully all summer (I have had it for 3 years with no major problems. Ok, on a specially scorching day here in Tennessee I was idling my Alfa for...

A few months ago, I promised to sort out some web galleries for the group's website. Unfortunately, I've since had a hard drive crash, which took with it over 4 years worth of archived emails including the cuore-sportivo stuff people had sent to me. If anyone wants their car on the website,...

Hi Guys, Have seen quite a lot of good info 'bout tyres on this group. And a few times it's been mentioned that on FWD cars, it's best to have the better pair of tyres at the rear. Firstly, is that the general opinion of the Alfisti on this group? Second, anybody got an idea why this is...

I wonder, we all know the 2.0TS and 2.4JTD are some of the best road-car engine designs around. Pity then that Lotus 7 kits such as Cats and Westies don't have them fitted instead choosing mass-produced Ford/Vauxhall units where the pants have to been revved off them to get anywhere near the...

What are they and how do I tell if they're on the way out or have gone? Neil

Hello, I am thinking about getting AR 33 '84 1.3. Overall condition is good. Any comments about that type of car? I know this one is Series 1, is it any good now? Best regards, Alfisti Gdansk,Poland

Hi all, Im after a bit of advice as to what 156 to buy. I have been looking at a 156 2.5 v6 veloce but I read somewhere recently that said the 2.5 isn't that much quicker than the 2.0 TS. I am after a quickish car sub 8secs to 60, but don't want to fork out the extra on a v6 if its not really worth...

I thought that I would just share. I can confirm that it is not a good idea to allow 'er to borrow your 156 and reverse it into a post :-( The rear valance is well abraded, and the rear of the boot lid has a lovely crease down it. The bodyshop estimate is £1840.00 to fix it. Question:- if I...

I've just bought a 156 SW M-jet, and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a copy of the English manual in pdf format ? I already have the paper copy, and I will scan it in if I have to, but naturally I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.

Hi there! I need a little help with my car. the aircon is not working the way it should. The problem is: Starting the engine with the aircon turned on, the pipe leading away from the compressor gets cold quite fast but just for a few seconds. Then there is a clicking sound (relais i guess) and...

Hi everyone, Took a GT 2.0 JTS out for a test drive on Saturday, thought I'd share my opinions with the group (for what they are worth!), I would welcome other people's opinions, as I am very seriously thinking of buying. My comparisons are to my current steed - 147 1.6 lusso. Overall, I was...

Is there a way to jack up my rear 156 suspension, e.g by air? Have checked the manual but not documented so I guess not. Have the sports variety and when a couple of certain members of my family sit in the back, we're on the cusp of doing damage on every sleeping policeman we meet. I thought I...
