about 30 miles they have quietened down. But now there is another problem -

car? What the 4wd...

156 Front Suspension Lower Wishbones by
Gary Taylor
As I didn't get a reply I guess that you've taking yours to a garage. But it
doesn't look too difficult with one ball joint, one bolt through leg and
four more holding mounting onto crossmember. Copious amounts of WD40 going
on on Friday night!
Mine (should) arrive this week and I'm going to...

156 V6: a bit 'strangled'. by
Jacopo
Today, my 156 doesen't feel like other days: between 3500 and 5000 RPMs, the
engine is something like 'strangled', it has some hesitation in giving
power... finally, a momentary lapse of power. (Pink Floyd enthusiast will
understand me ;-)
Monday the light 'engine failure' came up, stayed turned on...

Hi
I have a 1999 Alfa 156 Selespeed, which is missing 4th gear every 6-7 time

When shifting from 3th the gearbox "thinks" in about 3-4 seconds before it
directly shift into 5th....no "chrunces" or anything, it just wont choose

156 2.5 V6 Spark plugs? by
[email protected]
Can anybody provide me with details on spark plugs required for the
156 2.5 V6? From what I could gather so far it looks like it takes
either the PFR6B (Platinum) or the BKR6EIX (Iridium) from NGK. Can
anyone confirm this or give me details on any other brands? What brand
is fitted as standard?

Well, that's the wipers done by
SteveH
Finally got round to fitting the new wiper motor to the 155. What an
absolute pain in the arse job that was.
Quite tricky to set up so they don't hit the bonnet or fly off the
driver's side of the windscreen, too. And what were Alfa thinking of
with the controls? - only one speed plus a 3-setting...
