Anyone any idea where the cable / connectors are and if adapters are easily available? If not, bluetooth plug in time. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 166...

Looks really simple - knock the pins out, prise back pistons, remove pads. Stick new pads in, replace pins. Job done. Surely there's more to it than that? -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75...

I find it disappointing that whilst other manufacturers are producing dual clutch sequential boxes that finally fulfill the potential Alfa showed us with the innovative but temperamental selespeed boxes, they have announce their new auto is... a torque converter auto with a sequential mode (which...

Anyone in here got (or driven) the new 2.4 Diesel plant in a 159 yet. 200 horses and tree uprooting torque sounds pretty impressive. Just wondered what it 'actually' performs like and what the engine sounds like? I'll be looking for a second hand (up to 24 months old) one in a year or 2...

Everything went so well that something had to go wrong. The little plastic stub where you connect the pipe that goes back to the expansion tank snapped off whilst I was bleeding the system. New rad. £85 delivered. Fingers crossed it's here for next weekend..... --

I may be able to lay my hands on an engine for very good money, I have someone lined up to give a good and proper checking. How much should I pay to have an engine removed from one car and dropped into another? Would I be mental to consider doing this myself? Or at least some of the work? Rick

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...

Anyone know of a good place to get parts for alfas. In the Cardiff area would br good or anywhere else as long as they can deliver. need a new air filter houseing and a new MAF sensor for my 159 1.8 1999. tia. -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/alfa-romeo/200706/1

Or not Quick straw poll please (quicker is better) What speed does your 156 usually run at? Having got ours back I went for a drive today only to be rather alarmed to see the temp up above 90. The fan is kicking on and off and the temp is fine at standstill, but it

After 2 Saturdays of spannering I have the 75 sorted, I think.... Yellowstuff brake pads went in last weekend - they're bloody good. It actually feels like it has modern brakes now. New coolant hoses and thermostat went on last weekend. New radiator and fan switch went in yesterday. Final job...

Hi, I have a 159 SW (2005) and was wandering if I can use my rems (17") on a 159 SW (when I'm changing car the next time) ? TIA MJ

Well, it's a big old car. Not had much chance to use it yet, but it's in condition as described. All the buttons seem to work and it shifts acceptably well ;) Couple of bits of trim missing off the back console (not that I'm ever likely to set in the back) and the cowl for the driver's seat...

Guys, Please stop me, been offered a 97P GTV for £1000 by my mate who just took it in as a p-ex. Please tell me theres no room in the back for a baby seat. HELP!

....ah, that'll be the cat heatshield floating about then - 10pm and keys already with the mechanic for 8AM fettle! (can anyone beat that service?!)

There is no official Alfa Dealership in Cardiff at present. My 147 is out of warranty And my local garage has serviced many Alfas inc: belt changes on 156 and 145's but not a 147. No problem doing the work, he is an excellent mechanic, but does anyone know if the Service Mileage can be reset...

Anybody got any suggestions for mounting a roofbox on a 156 Sportwagon? I checked with a dealer who said that roof rails could be retrofitted (to allow crossbars and box mountings to be attached), but this would cost close to a grand: About £450 + VAT in labour (remove headlining etc) £150 per...
