Hey guys
Just got me a nice new (to me) 2000 X 156 2.5 V6.  Anyway, it's pretty much
a peach FASH example except for a warped rear disc and the rear fog
dashboard indicator not working, is it a dash out job?  Expensive?  I ask as

...some b**tard parked his car near my drive in such a way that the only
thing sticking out was his tow bar. And what do I do? What any normal person
would do, reverse out of my drive. In the process, the rear left bumper has
now been torn in half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 3 and a half year old 156 Veloce wheels (telephone dial type) are
starting to show signs of bubbling in places, no doubt due to not
cleaning them properly (hangs head in shame). Is it worth getting them
stripped and refurbished, or will this just speed up the deterioration?

I have just brought a 166 and my old 164 TS has to go. It is a J reg
with 6 months MOT left on it. It has 133K on the clock. Is a good
runner for the age but need one or two bit and pieces sorting.
Horn not working - probably fuse

I've just looked at the fuses under the dash and they according to the
handbook, they all seem out of place....(wrong fuse ratings in each socket).
Is this anything to do with a UK car and a non-UK handbook ?
I also found that the two fastening screws are to small....they go ...

Afternoon all!
Hurtling towards insurance renewal time for my GTV TS and wondering if
anyone has any recommendations for insurers/brokers who aren't too happy to
rip you off on a group 17 car ;-)

I am looking to buy a late 60's/early 70's GTV (1750 or 2000) and would
appreciate some buying advice/tips.
I am not that mechanically-minded, so would like to know what should I look
for in a car of that age and type.

There're only like 10 v6 Spiders on autotrader.
Is it 'cause the V6 wasn't introduced to the Spider until 2001 or something?

This is my first ever newsgroup posting (I'm a lurker :)) so please bear
with me. I have been reading tons about passenger side dashboard rattles
(UK), but mine seems a little different. There's a pretty loud rattle coming
from the passenger side... but it seems centered towards the ...

Any ideas what Oil is in my new (2004) 156 Sportwagon 2.4JTD (175BHP)?
I need to top it up - my local FIAT (not alfa) dealer says ALL JTD engines
need Selenia WR 5W40, but the manual says to use Selenia Turbo Diesel 10W40
(except for "decidely sporty use" - in which case use the ...
