156 2.0 Idle Problem by
Jon Harriss
My X plate 156 has an intermittent idle problem. A couple of times whilst on
a journey it has refused to idle and instead will stall at traffic lights
etc. It will restart as long as you give it some gas and drives as normal
until the next time you come to a stop. The problem rectified itself...

Front lower wishbone Powerflex bushes by
alterro
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to mount those bushes properly? I'm a little bit
concerned because those bushes aren't screwed. I read that I should
hammer them on wishbone. Will it be enough? Will it not fall apart when
driving?

Looking to buy a 156 by
BigAl
Hi All
With a budget of up to £6,000UKP what would the group consider my best buy?
I'm leaning towards a 2000-2001 Velococe and I'd like a 1.8 but I'm not
seeing many available, unless I want to travel a bloody long way.
I'm going to take a look at a 1.6 2001 (Y) with 56Kon the clock,...

Dealer Recommendations by
Simon C
Hi all
Being an owner living in Gloucestershire, some of you may have heard that
the local AR dealer (Cleveley Cars, Cheltenham) has closed.

2. I can find a local independent....

The dashboard "bulb failure" light has just started to show on my 156
1.8 SportWagon. At first it only went on while braking, but by the
time I was able to inspect the lights it was on permanently.
I now find that I have NO brake lights working at all...

New 147 by
Ross
I had a look round one recently at my local dealer(Northgate, Canterbury)
and had a short drive. Visually there's no big changes, which will hopefully
help to protect the value of the 'old' model, but the new headlamps are
nice. Not to sure about some of the other changes though! The chrome...

Tyre advice! by
Charlie Andrews
Hello!
I know that tyres are a bit of a personal thing, and a not-irregular subject
here, but do you think you could humour me?
I am shopping for tyres for my lovely 1.8TS 156, with the big alloys
