A "nice young man from the AA" came out last Thursday and discovered that one of the plugs is well oiled-up. Poss cause - knackered gasket ?? Anyway, 156 is now down at the local Alfa dealer (Allams of Epsom) awaiting diagnosis / fix - I'll be posting bulletins on the palace gates as and when there's anything to report.
