I have an 18mth old UK reg: Alfa 147 1.6T Spark Lusso. I have just returned from 10days in N.Spain. Very hot and humid so Air Con in use. After 3 days noticed front passenger footwell carpet wet, also no water drainage from Air Con under car. No rain during that period and missed the storms in UK...

I have a 156 that has just started to show a warning light when the engine is switched on. Unfortunately I have lost the car manual so could anyone tell me what it means? The light is in the lower half of the speedo, right hand instrument dial, is yellow/amber and looks like an inverted light bulb...

Thinking of swapping my 147 GTA for a new Brera, but finding it very hard to find any reliable info on the Brera - HELP anyone?

After trashing my 1.8 156 TS, I'm viewing an X reg (2000) 2.0 156 tonight. Is there anything different to the 1.8 that I should be keeping an eye out for in the service history ?? 72k miles, full AR history, cambelt done (@59k), 1 owner. Sounds a good buy on paper - but anything particular to check...

I'm about to take my 156 V6 in for it's 96000 service. Just curious why, in the service manual, spark plugs are changed at 48k, and then no further mention of them is made. Shouldn't they also be changed at 96k? And is the air filter really every 24,000 miles? And how come HT leads...

Hi, Some time back the chrome handle on my glove compartment broke off. No too much of a problem as a could open the compartment by pulling the metal fixture that the handle screwed on to. Today however whilst trying to screw the handle back on of managed to mess something up so I can't get in...

Hi all, I've got a second-hand 156 selespeed ('00), it has just 78.000 km and yesterday I had to replace the selespeed pump since I could not shift gears anymore. The mechanic previously said it could be an actuator, wich is very expensive. So now I am worried that something else will break on the...

I need to carry two bikes on my 156. I don't want a roof rack because of the impact on the already poor fuel consumption. Can anyone recommend a boot mounted carrier that "works" e.g. doesn't knacker the paintwork, holds the bikes securely, etc etc. Ideally I dont want a lighting bar either... G

Whilst I had an Electrician looking at my 2.4 JTD Sportswagon yesterday,I asked him to look at my radio arial... the FM works but the Medium wave does not. After a bit of hunting we found the arial in the Tailgate with a Booster attached to it. The arial and booster checked out OK. But when I...

which is it? Supersprint, Remus, Sebring or something else?

Hello Gentlemen, I have a technical question regarding my (1996) 146ti. I don't know the exact technical word, but there's a flap that closes when inside air circulation is needed. On my car, that just stopped in closed position. In wintertime there was a trick for opening : I switched the...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can help me in a battle with Alfa Romeo UK. A pressure sensor failed in the clutch actuator on my 156 Selespeed causing it to be just a huge hunk of metal with an engine in it. Starts fine but a red light mocks any attempt to engage a gear. No problem, these things...

Hi, I have a 2003 147 2.0 TS which will be 2 years old at the end of the month. Last year around this time, I had it serviced with the 12k service, it had done 3k miles. Now a year on it has done 10k miles and is due another service. My question is should this be another 12k service or 24k given...

Recently been helping a friend choose a used 156 and was amused to note how the official dealer network - even now - holds to the line that 72K is the change interval for cambelts on the Twin Sparks. I was told that choosing to change it before then was "optional". Is then paying the £2k fitted...

Hi, Does anyone know if the standard auto stereo plays MP3s in the above car (see subj.) ? TIA MJ
