156 on the blink
The listed cambelt change interval on my 2005 1.9 JTD 156 SW is 70,000
miles. Just done the 2nd change at 132,000 miles though as there were
visual signs of wear.

Anybody got an unwanted red 156 key fob?
Hi there
The key fobs for my 156 is starting to get very temperamental due to

How to find Alfa Radio Codes
Hi all
Any ideas for getting hold of the radio code other than paying Alfa/
Fiat £35 + VAT?
Bought a 156 with a dead battery and the seller didn't know the radio
code.
Cheers

Interesting that DVLC has it listed as a Selespeed, which it clearly
