Alfa service and repair in Shropshire by
Jake P
As I was passing the other day I noticed that Hylton in Shrewsbury
(Featherbed Lane / Sundorne retail park) have whacked a placard
outside their place advertising the fact that they're an authorised
Alfa service centre.
This is (potentially) good news, since Alfa dealers in Shropshire have

"Fifth Gear" TV show. by
George Graves
All you Brits:
Your "Top Gear" show has been repackaged and sold to Speed TV in the USA
as "Fifth Gear" and they started showing it here last week. One of the
cars they tested on the first week's shows (they run two episodes

I need some warrantee work done on my alfa by a dealer. Can anyone
recommend a good dealer in Midlands or London area? Door handles need

Reason nunber 187 why I love my Alfa by
Ypnos
Was downtown the other night waiting at traffic lights, minding my own
business and a Celica rolled up next to me with 2 kiddies in it, revving and
doing other things that jap-car owners have to do to get noticed. I was more
than happy to oblige, of course so I force fed them some dust and never...

Alfa 33 front window by
[email protected]
Hi,
Just a simple question before I decide what to do. Is the front window
of a 1993 Alfa 33 glued in place or just suspended in rubber? If it's
suspended in rubber, I'll just go out to the junkyard to buy one, but
if it's glued it would be wiser to go to the local car glass service.

156 'knocking' ?? by
NC
Hi all
car is 156 1.8 1999 (UK T) 39k on the clock.
When going slowly (<20mph), if I break (usually softly - ie in a traffic
queue) I can hear a quiet knocking. It appears to come from the drivers
side but other than that its hard to tell. If I roll and the break again
it doesn't happen, but then...

Guus Obelink
Since a few months the engine of my 156 SW 1.6 is running poor from 1750 to
2500 rpm. If you try to run it at an constant rpm, the engine is not running
smooth (NL: de motor houdt in) and at idle the rpm varies from 800 upto
1300.
The dealer resetted the motor management computer, but without...

Alfa 166 -Rear view mirror sensor ?? by
DJ
Hi,
What is the sensor for on the rear view mirror on a AR 166 ?
I thought it was to sense daytime and night-time and auto adjust the ICS
screen colour but the ICS screen colour changes when you switch the head
lights on. - can't find anything in the handbook.
cheers
