156 problems filling up the petrol? by
fmt
Being a new owner of a 156 I'm starting to learn all the delights of
owning and driving an Italian car, but one thing that's really bugging
me at the moment is as regards putting petrol in the car.
I've tried at 5 different fuel stations, but everytime the same thing
happens.
Nozzle goes in, fuel...

Q4 engine in GTV6? by
Mario Orsolic
Hello all !
I have 2 GTVs, 1 is GTV6 2.5 (in very bad condition), and other is GTV2.0,
in decent condition. My plan is to use 2.0 chasis and put in an 3.0 24V
engine from 164Q4, which I could get relatively cheap (complete car).
So my questions would be:
Am i facing only "usuall" 24V conversion...

Alfa Romeo 156 alarm won't turn off problem by
Alfie Norks
I have a 156 (X reg = 2000) and I tried to use it on the weekend only
to find that both of my car keys don't seem to be able to turn off the
car alarm. It's not the key batteries as the chance of both keys being
dead at the same time is very slim - and the key lights come on when I
press their...

Gear change and Air Con by
Ballymoney
I have a 2001 147 1.6TS Lusso and am experiencing problems with the gear
change. The gear lever feels very stiff and sticky, so rather than
smoothly changing from 2nd to 3rd, 4th to 5th, and 5th to 3rd or 4th it
feels like i really have to push/pull the gear stick over. Is anyone else

In the vague hope that anyone is still reading this group,

156 on the blink by
Malcolm Osborne
156 2.0TS - driving along, revs go up briefly, then engine dies. Turning
ignition key causes starter motor to go `whirr', but no effect on engine.
Doesn't sound like cambelt - that would be more dramatic?
Any suggestions on root cause, before car is towed to agent? Was due to go
there in near...

petrol / LPG by
GT[_14_]
This post is the same question that I just asked in uk.rec.driving.
After converting a petrol engine to LPG, can the car still use petrol as a
backup, or is it LPG only?
Anyone converted an Alfa? 2.0JTS specifically.

156 Front Suspension Lower Wishbones by
Gary Taylor
As I didn't get a reply I guess that you've taking yours to a garage. But it
doesn't look too difficult with one ball joint, one bolt through leg and
four more holding mounting onto crossmember. Copious amounts of WD40 going
on on Friday night!
Mine (should) arrive this week and I'm going to...

jumping out of gear by
GT[_14_]
New (to me), 2009 159 1.9 jtdm 16v sw.
Jumps out of 2nd when trundling up to junctions/roundabouts. Other gears OK.
Still under warranty for a year from the garage I bought it from last week,
so not really a big problem, but any ideas from the experts in here before I
take it in.
Another point...

166 2.5 Questions by

Well, it's a big old car. Not had much chance to use it yet, but it's
in condition as described. All the buttons seem to work and it shifts
acceptably well ;)
Couple of bits of trim missing off the back console (not that I'm ever
likely to set in the back) and the cowl for the driver's seat...

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...

1971 Alfa Spider 1750 - Front upper control arm locating washers... by
SteveC
Hi Folks,
A while ago, I replaced the upper control arms on my '71 Alfa Spider
1750. The arm I replaced incorporates the upper ball joint, but also
it has a bushing near the ball joint to connect with the other upper
arm (the locating arm?) which secures things towards the front of...
