My 147 seems to be leaking coolant but I can't see where from. Topped it up a couple of weeks back bit is below the min level again. Had a new radiator about 15 months ago and no visible signs of leaking from that region. Anyone else had any problems in this department? Looks like a trip to a...

Hello There. I have recently developed a power steering leak on my 52 plate Alfa 147 t-spark lusso. After speaking to my local mechanic he said that if it is a Seal that has gone, he would need to replace the Rack which would be a major job for him. Therefore incurring me a large cost. Is this...

A follow up to anyone who remembers my previous postings.. After looking into the price of a replacement/recon engine I decided to have work done on the existing engine. Another piston was fooked so the oil pump was considered suspect. The engine is at the engineers having the block lime bored,...

I have an 04 registered 147 Selespeed with 14,000 miles on the clock. The car is an import, and not covered by dealer warranty, but I have full mechanical breakdown cover. Two weeks ago the oil pressure warning light came on. When I went to top up the oil I noticed that the radiator header...

Hi, I added a reformulator to my oil crankcase and gas tank and got better Performance and an INCREASE in gas mileage. It works on just about any combustible engine. It works on cars, boats, generators etc. I even use it in my lawn mower, lol. This stuff works. I put 1 ounce per 10 gallons of...

Hi, Has anyone else on here had a problem with their 147 with regards to the thrust bearings dis-integrating and causing damage to the crank? Mine was a 52 plate with 45K on the clock, alfa are determined to say it's not a fault, but the garage I took it to has seen half a dozen or so and I've...

Just put my 147 in its garage... turned on the 'follow-me-home' headlamps (by flipping the headlamp stalk as if to flash the lights) - and heard a really odd noise. Sounded almost like a noisy fan (one with something stuck in it). Stopped when the headlights went off. Turned the ignition on,...
