I do not wish to generate a large and unending discussion but would appreciate confirmation of my own findings. I have never owned a diesel car. My 1999 Alfa 146 has 1.6 TS petrol engine and 89000 miles on the clock. One of the really nice things with this car is that it will pull away from 20...

I know this seems to have been covered a million times but.. rear window stuck open; it's happened before but has sorted itself out. This time it seems well and truly stuck. How do I get the door panel off? Apologies if this seems really stupid as I know a lot of you out there do really...

Hi I have a 2001 147 2.0 T-Spark which has develpoed an annoying habit of slipping occasionally when going round right hand bends. It doesn't have a problem with left hand bends! Sometimes the VDC light will start flashing until I straighten up and sometimes it will slip as well. It always...

Any Alfa dealers in Northern California?

Heres a nice easy one... Sorry this is quite long but I want to get it all in... About a month ago I was rear shunted at the lights when a car faield to stop in time. Damage was not that substationl but required an adjustment to the boot and a new rear bumber.

I've just bought my first Alpha, It's a 156 1.8TS 1999. Every thing about the car is superb, except it has the wooden trim. Ive bought some momo parts for it (Gear knob & Handbreak handle.) But i can't for the life of me work out how to remove the old wooden stuff. On many other cars there is a...

I need to carry two bikes on my 156. I don't want a roof rack because of the impact on the already poor fuel consumption. Can anyone recommend a boot mounted carrier that "works" e.g. doesn't knacker the paintwork, holds the bikes securely, etc etc. Ideally I dont want a lighting bar either... G

Anyone know of a good source or individual with USED Alfa Spider parts in Canada? Thanks. fanavan @ gmail.com

Yee ha! Cold air coming out now, so no longer do I need to be in a sweat box. So, the fault was the air mixing actuator, which is behind the dash on the side of the heater matrix. Total cost for work by Alfa dealer, =A3130. That included getting a 147 for 2 days (although the gear linkage was...

Hi All, I need to get a new set of rear tyres for my Alfa 156 2.5 V6. Currently It has Avon ZV3s on the front and Eagle F1s (don't know which revision) on the back, which is how it was when I bought it. I need to replace the rears now, and the fronts probably in the summer, so want to get 4...

Hi, all.... I recently had an episode where the logical part of my brain was apparently starved for oxygen, and bought an '85 Spider Veloce. The good news is, the previous owner had recently overhauled the engine, replaced the top, installed Eibach springs, Koni shocks, Exip wheels, Michelin...

Anyone know of a 1982 Spider Veloce in the NE US (south east NY) area? 1982: Stiffened chassis, Bosch injection, unadorned Kamm tail. Veloce: Full leather luxo interior. Thanks

Any thoughts on the following would be appreciated :- I have a AR 166, a couple of months ago I got an error on the ICS when I started the car - "Air Conditioner fault, contact the Workshop" I took the car in for repair, they regased the ACU - did not fix. I took the car back, they kept it for...

I seem to have caught the gremlins which various others have. Not having much luck with my GTV but love it still. My indicators don't work and when I use them there is a strange buzzing noise and the interior light comes on. Any boffins out there who could take a guess whats going on?...

Hi, I have a 91 Alfa Romeo Spider and I need to replace the bypass hose. Does anyone have one for sale or can someone recommend a good parts company. I'm located in Canada. Thanks in advance. Laudi

Dear All Would it offend this news sites users if I put information on it relating to some Alfa Romeo Parts I have listed on eBay? Thank Karl
