I've just had a (thankfully) rare visit to a main dealer
 

...... to order a pair of aircon pipes for the 156.

Now, call me old fashioned, but shouldn't the bloke on the parts desk be
able to identify which bits you need, rather than the customer having to
work it out for themselves?

Needless to say, they're only having my money for the parts, I'm not
letting them anywhere near the car.

Hi Steve,
When I had my 146 1.6cc Boxer I had to get an oil filter for it.
When I went to the Alfa dealer parts dept. and asked for an oil filter
for a 1.6 boxer engine, the guy said "what's a boxer?" in dealers
nothing surprises me.
