Hi,
In the past few months, I read from this ng a thread about this
question I have, but I unfortunately lost the answer. Here it is:

Although I need this extra boost...

156 owners manual by
fmt
Anyone have a copy of the 156 owner's manual they no longer need that
they'd be prepared to donate / sell to me.
Just got my new (well new to me anyway, 2001 Y) 156 and trying to
learn all about it....not easy without a manual as you can guess.
Thanks

Steve Lupton
Hi
We have a 147 2.0 which is coming up to one year old.
It has done only 5870 miles. When we tried to book it in to the dealer, they
told us it didn't need servicing until it had done the mileage -

I have a rather rotten looking nearside rear wheel arch - the plastic

Anyway - I'm going to send it in to be fixed next month - does anyone
