Seeing as I get through about 2 of these a month (on warranty) does anyone know if there's anything better available out there (for when the warranty runs out....)?

Looking at one of the above, around 01/02 plate. I have previously driven Golf 1.9 TDi (130s). Can you give me some opinions on these, maybe comparisons? I would have bought an Alfa a while back - but there is always the reliability issue/reputation with these.....or is that unfounded?! Regards

Hi! Where can I find diagram for engine 24 JTD 2000 ? Thank you. Kris

Hi, I am a total newbie to the realms of audio devices for cars so I am asking for some advice from the pro's.

Bought my 1999 alfa 156 1.8TS a few months ago and it came with hardly any service history, It's now coming up to 72,000 miles and after reading some of the horror stories on here i think it will be a good idea to get a full service and also have the belts changed at the same time. I know this is...

Anyone got any experience of rain sensors? (on Alfas or otherwise). Last time I looked at them I got the impression they were unreliable gimmicks, but that was quite a while ago. -- Stephen Poley

I've had enough, I'm getting *very* angry now. There's someone on ebay, going by the name of 'italianspares' who seems to be on a mission to buy *every* 75 so he can break them for spares. I'm not joking, either. A 75 comes up for sale, he bids. He wins, he breaks. He's responsible for 5 or 6...

I'm experiencing a regular loss of fluid from the p/steering reservoir but cant spot a leek anywhere! Anyone had a similar problem, i'm stumped!

Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can buy (if even possible) a facia adapter so my SONY CDX-F7750S stereo can fit nicely into the dashboard of my Alfa 156 SW JTS (model 2005) ? I just purchased one but first of all it's black because the dealer said that it's not possible to get a silver one....

Hi I have recently bought my first Alfa and am really pleased with it. I can now stop looking enviously at them when they go by. It's done 55K and I was starting to look into where to get it serviced, but today while driving through town a warning light came on and a message as follows: "Motor...

Hello I just wondered what your experiences of corrosion was with Alfas. My covetted S plate 156 is showing distinct signs of an uneven surface towards the corner of the nearside rear passenger door. The paint hasn't yet broken, but running my hand over the paint, there is a real feeling...

HAs anyone out there set up a carbed Alfa DOHC engine with Webers to run E85? Seems like you could make more power and run cooler.

I have a problem with the selector switch on my 156. I cannot get the fan to blow through the windscreen vents, only the main ones and the foot vents no matter which posn. I select??? Has anybody experienced this? Would be grateful for any comments Jamie.

I’ve just got my nearly four year old 147 back from an expensive 36,000 mile service and MOT where I had to have quite a lot of suspension parts replaced. At the same time they recomended that I have the cam variator replaced. Due to not having stacks of spare cash knocking around I haven’t had it...

Hi. Just a question. Need to change a leaver in 147, cause it's worn out. Had in mind a momo leaver, but ain't sure if it's hard to install? Any pinpointers? How can it be done?

Alfa Spider 1986 Exhaust gas oder in the cabin when the top is up. I have had the exhaust checked and all is in tack and tight. What can I do to stop the oder? What should I check???

Hello every one, Just a quick question, I'm viewing a 98 'S' Plate 2l TS tomorrow (Mangoletsi's, Knutsford, if anyone has experience with them). The car has had 2 owners, nearly full service history - however, it has 125K on the clock. The car is priced at £2,990, which seems reasonable to me and...
