Sportwagon Tailgate Trim Removal by
SteveH
Any ideas?
I need to gain access to the rear wiper, which has a minor electrical
issue - probably a fault in the muti-plug.
If I wiggle it, the wiper works, but won't stay working.
Cheers.

this may interest someone he

As you can see from my reply, key re-coding is cheap these days, so
someone could get a bargain there.

A Sad Day by
Zathras
I had genuinely hoped to have been able to put off this day forever,
but it wasn't to be. After 7 enjoyable and remarkably trouble free
years of driving the Alfa, the 8th year and, in particular, the last
six months have been a trial. It looked as though the trial would
never end so the best car I...

Door mirrors by
GT[_11_]
Both my door mirror mounts have completely shed their 'black' now. My old
Fiat Marea did this too. I'm not too bothered about it as the resulting
bauxite (corroded aluminium) looks like chrome from a distance! Should I be
concerned? Are the mirrors likely to fall off?!?

Just been to collect my 75 by
SteveH
from the garage where I keep it, around 10 miles away.
Haven't had a chance to use it since the first week of June, but once
I'd disconnected the battery, it fired up pretty much instantly.
Who says Alfas are unreliable?

JTS exhaust by
GT[_11_]
Best online shop for exhausts please...
I need a new back box for my 156 2002 2.0JTS. Its not the same as the TSpark
exhaust system.
The flexi pipe was the blowing part, so they welded a similar sized piece in
and all is well, but there is only luck holding the rear silencer together

SteveH
Does anyone have an idiots guide to this?
Managed to the passenger side item whilst working on the car today.
Gah!
On the positive side, the car now has a decent stereo with bluetooth
hands-free, iPod control and MP3 capability and the headlining no longer
sags, although I need to have it fixed...

Argghh: taken roughly. by
Catman
Or more accurately SWMBO was. By a bloody great LWB Transit type thing
in her 145.
Boot won't open or shut properly, looks to me like the rear quarter
shouldn't be that shape and the spare wheel well / boot floor is
definitely bent.
I suppose that will get written off then.
At least driver...

Odd noise by
R C Nesbit
The 156 1.9 JTD had started making a very odd noise.
Started yesterday, under heavy throttle, a sort of
shhhshhsshshs noise, best I can describe it is like the
noise of waves receding on a pebble beach.
Only happens under heavy throttle, neutral or slight
acceleration there is no problem.
So,...

LED lights by
GT[_11_]
Anyone tried LED p21 brake/light bulbs? Ebay item 110416650094 for an
example.
Or just search for p21 5w led.
Bright enough?
Long lasting?
Opinions?

156 JTD engine temp. by
R C Nesbit
My 156 1.9JTD has, in the past couple of days, started
displaying highly variable engine temperatures.
I noticed it first on Sunday, driving up quite a steep
winding hill stuck behind a car doing <50mph, the temp went
up to 3/4
Today on a mixed run of high speed A1 and slower A roads it
seems...

Hi Guys,
Things are not going well for me. On Saturday I had the 166 serviced at a

Novitec Rosso downsizes with tuned Alfa Romeo MiTo by

Alfa Romeo's new MiTo is hardly a performance powerhouse, with the current range-topping model in the lineup boasting a diminutive 1.4L turbo engine until the performance-focused GTA arrives. Thankfully, German tuner Novitec Rosso is remedying the situation with a number of upgrades for the stylish...

Wheel bolt snapped by

Hi,

even wear and - IDIOT me overtigthened a front wheel bolt and it snapped!!!
Much swearing followed "****** **** ***** ******"
