Hello All, I'm the new owner of a 1976 Giulia Nuova Super 1300. (My brother brought it back with him after serving in the Navy in Italy.) My question is about service. Where can I take this thing to be serviced? It sounds like I have either a rear wheel bearing or U joint going bad, so I'd like...

I have a 147 1.6TS Nov 2003 R hand drive. With the recent heavy rainstorms I have water coming into the Front passenger footwell via , it appears, the heater outlet. Where is the water drain for the heater air intake situated? I think this could be the cause although with the ferocity of some of...

How do I remove this from the dash without bending, breaking or scratching anything? I've got the black surround off (no great achievement) but the radio has refused to budge.
