156 - bubbles in coolant bottle by Steve Collins
Hi, I've just noticed that when revving the engine on my 156 2.0TS, bubbles appear in the coolant filler bottle. My suspicion is that this means the head gasket has failed but the car has no other symtoms of this - it doesn't seem to be getting oil into the water or water into the oil...

156 - Windscreen wiper problem by Dave Savage
My 156 (1998, 55k miles on the clock) has developed an intermittent problem with the wipers. In summary, the wipers refuse to work (sometimes !!) - either they won't sweep at all, or only very sluggishly. Up to now, I've managed to get them going by switching wipers on/off a few times. Is this a...
