fitting additional amp and componemt speakers by
[email protected]
Hi All
Just purchased my dedicated two channel amp and component speakers.
I have never fitted before - any one got a guide and piccies? I do
know what cables I need but assistance on routing cables from battery
to boot and head unit to boot and doors would be great.
Worth noting I got a 6 month...

Alfa 156 Electric Window Switches by
Lin Fong
This is my first post to this group, though I've been reading posts
here for some time - in fact, it was advice here a few weeks ago that
prompted me to change the timing belt earlier than recommended in the
manual.
Anyway, i'm slightly embarrased as I have a rather trivial question,
but here...

Goodbye 156 SW 2.4JTDm Veloce by
Ninja
Well, it's been a great three years, but unfortunately it's time for the
Alfa to go. The expanding family means I have had to go for something
bigger (Passat Estate 2.0Tdi 170 dsg - which is huge, and drives really well
by the way).
The Alfa has been great: sylish, practical, reliable (yes,...

Howdy, My shop has bent my throwout bearing? by
Steve Nicholson
Thanks for opening this note. Does this make sense? When installing a new
clutch slave cyl. they set it to expand to 19mm the book says 11 to 12mm.
I think my slave cyl expanded too much and bent my pressure plate and bent
my throwout bearing fork out of position resulting in a now non...

Trackdays by
SteveH
OK, I'm doing my first proper trackday in a couple of weeks.
(Mon. 21st May at Colerne)
I've read up on them, and appear to be more or less prepared for what
I'm getting into, but I'd appreciate tips from someone with a bit of
experience.
The thing that really puzzles me is what people do with...

Boot lid does not open by
Florian Pigorsch
Hi all,
I have a problem with the boot lid of my 147:
if I try to unlock the boot lid using either the remote control or the
button at the car's panel and the car has not been moved shortly before,
the lid does not open and the indicator lights are flashing once.
If you do the same procedure...

Gearbox Snag turning into (minor) disaster by
Graeme Cosgrove
"preliminary" diagnosis is that the gearbox seized.5th gear is toast.
Engine mounts are damaged. "Estimate" for repairs to follow...but when
the man sucks his teeth and says "interesting" you know you need to be
sitting down when you get it.
2001 156 2.0 TS Veloce with 74K miles will be worth...

The central locking on my 147 has developed an intermittent problem.
Occasionlly when I press the remote to open the doors they unlock fine

they locked again!...

Alpha 147 Air Conditioning by
johnfrodsham
Hi
My Alpha Romeo 147 T Spark (2004) has developed a problem with the air
con. Before when I pressed the air con button you could hear the
compressor cut in and had warm/cold conditioned air. Now when I press the

Squeeky tickers by
GT[_1_]
UK 156, 2002, 2.0JTS.
When indicating, the audible 'ticker' has developed an intermittent squeek.
At first I thought the indicators were interfering with the radio and the
sound was coming through the speakers, but no, it happens with the radio
off, so I presume it is mechanical and sounds like...

Back from my trackday by
SteveH
Well, that was...... exciting.
Arrived at Colerne in plenty of time before the briefing, had a cuppa
and a wander around the paddock.
Worryingly, there were loads of Caterhams, some Elises, a couple of
VX220s and a handful of TVRs along with a few 911s, a couple of Caymans
and a 4x4 Sapphire...
