Hi Bert! Long time, no hear, and all that. The Sud looks wonderful. One day (maybe) I'll get the 116 and the Sprint out of storage I didn't even know the page was still there, TBH.

Glad you're still using > it at least That's a great car Bert, many congratulations on keeping the Alfa looks and improving the performance. I had a Sud in 1982/3, a 1.1 I think, and it was brilliant. A quick performer and handled like a dream as do all Alfas of course. I had to get rid of it when a company car came along but I've got another Alfa now and an excellent motor it is too. There are not too many Suds around in Britain these days, it's terrific to see one again. TonyB 156 JTDm 2004 (Red). |

Well, newsgroups are a thing of the 20th century, of course so are my cars.
I check here at least once a week but even the guys with 156 topic are gone it seems. Iīm considering trading my Lancia Montecarlo for a 750A series ī59 Giullietta Sprint that somebody I know has, with closed wallets. My MC dropped a valve or something and is a non runner, the Sprint is a bare body with the nose detached and all the parts in boxes (the engine in a shopping cart). I need to mail the guy an honest description of my MC and get some more info from him about completeness and work needed for the Sprint. But would love to have the ī59 even with the 65 hp engine I donīt need another boy-racer at my mature age. If the deal goes through, Iīll post here.

I'm still here with my 2002 156 JTS and its various eccentricities, I just don't worry about them any more! Its latest one is a cough: its fine if I accellerator hard or gently, but medium accelleration and it splutters, coughs and beep-beep-beep- 'Motor Control Failure Go To Dealer'. I just back off for a moment (less than a second), until the cough has finished then accellerate hard instead and its fine. Someone (Catman?) said its probably the throttle sensor on the pedal, so I'll squirt it with WD40 when I'm next in the shed and see what happens! |
