sensitive.It is very difficult to make a smooth takeoff from
standstill & going from 1'st to 2'nd is not smooth either.

New 156 - poor gearchange. by
Martin
Hi,
I have a new (2004, 175BHP) 156 2.4 JTD SW (6 speed). The gearchange seems
particularly bad - I'm sure the one I test drove was OK.
Basically, it is very "notchy", not fluid at all. It "seems" to be worse
when cold (less than 10 miles), and when the weather is cooler.
Every gear appears...

Alfa Milano Cam Timing by
Dev Cloete
Hi,
A cambelt tensioner pulley broke on a 16V Milano and fortunately no valves
were bent. However the cams jumped a few teeth and having made new
Alumininium pulleys and having fitted new belts, I would like to get
confirmation on the cam timing marks. The inlet and exhaust have marks on
them that...

I'm going to be using an Alfa75 V6 as a donor for a trike project in the
very near future and I need some advice as to which is the best V6 used in
the 75 and what would be the best year to look for and any particular

Alloy Wheels by
Tom Boltwood
I've just come into some 164 3.0 Super alloys. However, my TSpark is 4 stud
and the 3.0 was 5 Stud. Stupidly, I assumed that 164s would all have the
same wheel fixings. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to wheels, so can
anyone tell me:
a) why they have different stud patterns on these...

GT by

As a regular owner of VW's, Audis and Mercs i really do appreciate
reliability. I have never owned an ALfa before but have heard the unreliable
stories. However, the 1.9 Diesel GT looks an outstanding car. Has anyone got
experience of this yet or is it too new?
Looking to change my VW Golf 1.9TDi...

Another Rear Bumper 156 by
CGB
I've recently had a mild shunt from behind.
The damage *seems* superficial - a small chip & a nice faint imprint of
the offending bumper.
If the inside of the boot looks OK, and the boot still opens & shuts as
it did before, is that all I need to look for? Is there compressable
foam that means the...

Replacent Dash Lights by
Mr Flipflops
Hey guys
Just got me a nice new (to me) 2000 X 156 2.5 V6. Anyway, it's pretty much
a peach FASH example except for a warped rear disc and the rear fog
dashboard indicator not working, is it a dash out job? Expensive? I ask as
I happened to ask the dealer how much a brake disc was for the back...

Dear god.... by
Ypnos
....some b**tard parked his car near my drive in such a way that the only
thing sticking out was his tow bar. And what do I do? What any normal person
would do, reverse out of my drive. In the process, the rear left bumper has
now been torn in half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I couldn't see the tow bar...
