Just heard from a few friends that a new 1.6l  16v MJTD engine is being
developed.
Power ranges at about 120bhp. I'll send further details as soon as I have
them

somebody got a sneak drive with it already ?
How good is the 4x4 setup ? is it rally-like based or just RIP-OFF like audi
quttro systems on the audi tt ?
Greetz,

Could anyone recommend speaker upgrades for my 156?  Factory fitted
component system (not Bose, obviously), mainly interested in changing the
woofers in the bottom of the doors.

Speaking of which, is there a definitive guide to classic Alfas inc. typical

I have a chance to buy beautiful alloys to my 156 but they seem to me
slightly too big - 17 inch with 225/45 tyres. Will they fit my 2002 156 SW

Ok heres the story...
I just finished uni and landed myself a pretty decent job. At the
moment I drive a battered old escort so I'm looking for a new (second
hand) car. I really want a 147! I've seen a few on autotrader for

Wish I had the space for it.

As an owner of both an Alfa and an MG TF I would like to ask my fellow

I've gotten some larger photos from the seller, if someone wants to see

I'm fitting an electronic reversing aid that needs to be connected to the
reversing lamp electrical feed.

loom passes from the hatch to the car at the roof :-

I have just tried to swap the wheels front-to-back to rotate the tyres on my
52 plate 156 2.0JTS, but I can't get the wheels off!!
There wheels look normal - 5 nuts (1 locking). I can't see anything special
on the wheels and the handbook doesn't give any special instructions. Its

I have a Sept 03 53 reg 147 2.0 Lusso.
It has all the kit you could want:
Black in colour
17 inch Super Sport Alloys

A combination of age ( mine ), high rear window in my beloved 147 and low

Does anyone lease a 156.
if so..how much do you pay and what do you get?
I'm getting a company car but it looks like the 156 SW that I want may not
be an option :o(
