Hello Gentlemen and Ladies It's been somtime since I last posted, which I guess tells you that things have been OK with the lady...that is until the other day. On three occasions in the past ten days or so, I have experienced a loss of power under heavy acceleration and a message saying...

Well, I was quite happy with my Marangoni Vantos in terms of grip on the road and very impressed with their wet grip on the track. However, I've done around 400 road miles and 200 track miles on a set of 4 and 2 are just about illegal (on the nearside), 2 are OK for a thousand or so road miles...

Does anyone out there own one (especially interested in an oill burner). Can anyone tell me what the drive is like? Parts? Load room? Thanks Alex

First day of a 2500 mile driving trip around Eastern Europe the wiper motor burned out. Oddly enough a few days later, I drove past the ALFA dealer in Wroclaw and called in. Two hours later I was told they couldn't replace it is it was a RHD and the LHD motors they had won't work. On the last...

As an avid reader but rare contributor to this group I would just ask........where is everyone??

OK I am officially impressed... I have a 2002 2.0JTS 156. I didn't buy the car for its fuel consumption, more for the 165 horses, although consumption and power is advertised as improved over the 2.0TS variant. After 4 years, I thought I would see what the car could do... 330 miles down the UK...

I put all my 164 video's on line. Over an hour of 164 stuff. Goto "youtube" and search for 164td (written together) and you will see all 6 of them. "The making of" is the one I love the most !! Arjen 164 TD 164 Q4

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...

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...

....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?!)

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!

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...

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

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...

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
