147 T-Spark Service problem by
redTed
A little friendly advice required please.
A service is due on my 147 and we were aware that the cam belts would need
replacing and the cost would be quite high. I dropped it off at the dealers
today (Caledonia-Warrington) and when I called to find out when it would be
ready, they said there was...

2 types of front brakes for 75 2.0 TS? by
DesmaisonLCM
It appears that there are two types of front brakes for Alfa 75 2.0 TS. A
first assembly with brake callipers from BREMBO with double pistons for the
cars of 1896 to October 1989 and another in brake callipers from ATE for the
cars of 1989 to 1992. Can you assure me this evolution?
TIA
Bruno.

156 V6 starter motor by
Ppelectron
Just wondering if anyone on here has removed a starter motor from a 156 2.5 V6?
If so, how long did it take? I'm being told it's a 2 day job which seems a bit
excessive. I haven't actually worked out where it is fitted yet....

Hi,
Had my 2003 156 2.4JTD for about a month/1500 miles now and extremely happy

in Farenheit, although the owners manual shows it in Centigrade...........Is
there a way of changing this somehow? Or is it an undocumented A-R...

How safe is an AR 166 by
DJ
How safe are the AR 166's in a crash - lets say in a drivers side head on
impact at 40mph , does the AR 166 have effective crumple zones or is the
driver likely to be wearing the break pedals in his chest !!
Generally how are they rated .
Cheers
DJ

oil temp gauge by
Christian Petersen
Hi,
My oil temperature gauge has never been above 80 degrees C on motorway
driving, in the city it's closer to 70 C.
It's that normal? (Or what is it supposed to show?)
Also, can anyone tell me where I find the switch for the boot light?
(as the bulb seems to be fine)
thanks,
Christian, Denmark

147 rear calliper reconditioning by
Robin Cull
Hi,
Not been around here for a while.
I'm reconditioning the rear callipers on my 147 and I've hit a small
problem. I can't remove the main piston seals, I've managed to tear
one and I don't want to touch the other until I've more of a clue what
I'm doing. I think I need to move the piston out...

Interesting! cheap finance on GT? by
PhilipS
From Alfa UK.
And I thought they were selling like hot cakes?
Offers like that bode well, I'm just waiting for the new model hype to
subside slightly before jumping in for a new one with discount or a
demo at less than list!
