Hi Folks, I am looking to buy a second hand 166 as our second car. I am not too concerned about the year build more the kilometres and service record. Firstly, is this wise? Secondly, assuming that you do feel it is worthwhile getting into a

Hello. I'am currently looking to buy a secondhand AR 156, but I am a bit lost in what engine to opt for. The alternatives (in my head) are a two litre with the selespeed gearchange, or the larger 2.5 litre V6. The price of the two are aproximately the same, and I would appreciate opinions on what's...

Dear NG, For a little week I have been wondering about a slight smell metallic from me air con. Since I live close to the airport and local sewer plant I do not pay much attention to this.

Hi all, I want to open up one of my alfa flip keys to remove the key blade and put into a spare flip key I have acquired as a replacement. I've removed the battery and battery compartment, and removed the screw which is under the enamel alfa badge, but there doesn't seem to be a way to separate...

Bought the new gearbox oil, got underneath the car and removed the undertray, only to find that I didn't have a suitable allen key to fit the drain plug......DOH Seems it has to be very short to fit in drain plug and not get in the way of some protruding lump of metal opposite! Can anyone suggest...

Stop me from doing it. To add to my 55 plate 1.9jtd 156 I'm thinking of buying a 159 jtd sportwagon lusso. Anyone sure it's a bad idea?? I've had my problems with the 156 but I like it so much I'm willing to overlook them. Will I feel the same of the 159. And would two Alfa's in one household...

Hi, How do I remove the door panels of an Alfa 155? I found 3 screws but even with those removed, I couldn't take the panel off. Is there some kind of clever magical trick? (I'd like to be able to put the door panel back on again ;) ) Thank you, CP, Denmark

I was about to attempt its' replacement the other day - I can see why people have had problems! Fortunately I'd left it switched on and as I wiggled the connector, hey presto, it worked! Saved a few swear words!

There's another Alfa on there I make have a punt on. Has anyone dealt with them? If I enquire as to the condition of the engine are they likely to be honest? Plus what would it cost to transport a car from Southampton to Lancashire? If its a lot I would hire a trailer. Rick

'88 v6. Need to dismantle dashboard... also need standard manual. Can anyone email-it? THX

Day trip from Harlow to Boulogne today. I knew the middle box on the 75 needed replacing but I figured it would hang on for a few more weeks...... *wrong* About 5 miles out of Dover (at least it was on the home leg) *very* loud noisiness starts. I figured the patch had blown out *wrong*

Is there a way to jack up my rear 156 suspension, e.g by air? Have checked the manual but not documented so I guess not. Have the sports variety and when a couple of certain members of my family sit in the back, we're on the cusp of doing damage on every sleeping policeman we meet. I thought I...

Has anyone got a good exploded view of the rear brakes for an alfa '84 Alfa gtv 2.0? Either a link, photo or pdf would be great. Thanks Ian 84 Alfa gtv 2.0 73 BMW 2002 78 BMW R80/7 81 BMW R100CS

I own this, probably the oldest Giulietta in Croatia. The registration passed few weeks ago. I would like to sell it for the best offer.

Certainly got a (rather tasteless, admittedly) seal of approval on last night's show! Halmyre

What's the chances of the upcoming Alfa 1750 TBI (petrol turbo) actually sounding like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCUw8gzpTnw None..I think. Sounds more like a tuned 6, possibly a 12, to me. Traumatic brain injury - an excellent description for an Alfa? -- Z
