Can anybody help? Everything I have read suggests that you can't deactivate the alarm in the UK because they don't give you the keys. But I am totally fed up with it. Two keys have now broken (the bridge contact underneath the button). I 'fixed' one by removing the cover with a knife and using...

Hello, I have a question about my 146 1.9 TD. When I push the accellerator I hear a strange sound. It sounds like fluid that is being pushed trough a tube that's too narrow (squirting sound). The sound is located near the pedals. Anyone got a clue what this sound could be? Regards, Trienco Koster

I'm off to look at a 1991 8v 1.7 33 that is a 4x4B - not a p4. It is an import to the UK from it's original home of Austria. Is there anywhere that I can get a specification of this car? I've owned both 8v and 16v 33s before, nearly bought a p4 but have never heard of a 4x4B which I understand...

....but on Saturday night I called my usual taxi company to take me and the current Mrs Sawyer home after an evening's liquid refreshment, and instead of the usual Toyota Carina it was an Alfa 156 2.0TS! The driver was shocked as I knew straight away how to open the rear doors (apparently, most...

Where can I find other rear and front bumpers ? NON-original prefered. I find enough about the AR 156 & 147 but not for the 164. Do I have to look for an other brand or type which holes allmost match ? And customise them ? Or something alike ... Joe --- AR 164 3.0 V6

Hi, My 2.5V 166 judders when I brake - its only done 6000 miles - its this something usual with them or should I get it checked out (under warrenty). The efffectiveness of the breaking is fine but the judder is noticeable. TIA DJ

2002 156 Selespeed Very noticeable vibration when the air-con is switched on. In fact quite annoying when at a standstill as you feel it really obviously through the seat (and the steering wheel). Vibration completely vanishes when switched off. Any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks,

Dear all. I recently purchased a hard top for my 1991 spider (second hand). Can someone please send me the schematics of the hard top asa I feel I am missing various bits in order to secure it. Also it was impossible to put it in place. (Partly due to my wind deflector). How does it get attached to...

Hello all ! I have 2 GTVs, 1 is GTV6 2.5 (in very bad condition), and other is GTV2.0, in decent condition. My plan is to use 2.0 chasis and put in an 3.0 24V engine from 164Q4, which I could get relatively cheap (complete car). So my questions would be: Am i facing only "usuall" 24V conversion...

I've got a Black 2001 Alfa 147. 2.0 Lusso with Bose, sport leather and 17" alloys. (registered 01/2001) I'll be looking to sell it shortly due to the arrival of a company car. (156 Veloce) It will probably have 30K miles on it when I sell and is in mint condition with full SH and there will be some...

I've had a 2 litre 75 Twin Spark since 1991 and the brakes have ALWAYS been bad. I've had them serviced numerous times over the years - new master cylinder, new pads etc. Last time cost $2000 because "the master cylinder was connected the wrong way round". This did improve them a little, but there...

Dear all 156 owners, I had a real shock this week, as I took my immaculate 2001 156 sportwagon in for its first mot test. I have owned this car from new, and only covered 5700 miles, so no wear and tear almost as new. The tester refused to pass my car as the front off side head lamp beam pattern...

I am looking for a new or good used rear bumper for a '77 Alfa spider veloce 2000. Does any one of this group have one or knows where one exits? Thanks
