I need some warrantee work done on my alfa by a dealer. Can anyone
recommend a good dealer in Midlands or London area? Door handles need
replacing. Last Time I had this problem, Ry-Auto did the work. Took 6
weeks and knackered the door so it would not shut when opened from the

Was downtown the other night waiting at traffic lights, minding my own
business and a Celica rolled up next to me with 2 kiddies in it, revving and
doing other things that jap-car owners have to do to get noticed. I was more
than happy to oblige, of course so I force fed them some ...

Just a simple question before I decide what to do. Is the front window
of a 1993 Alfa 33 glued in place or just suspended in rubber? If it's
suspended in rubber, I'll just go out to the junkyard to buy one, but
if it's glued it would be wiser to go to the local car glass service.

car is 156 1.8 1999 (UK T) 39k on the clock.
When going slowly (<20mph), if I break (usually softly - ie in a traffic
queue) I can hear a quiet knocking. It appears to come from the drivers
side but other than that its hard to tell. If I roll and the break again

Hi group,
This is a problem my Alfa 156 2.4 JTD (2002) has had for a long time.
Sometimes it is very hard to press the pedal all the way to the floor, and
sometimes it goes very smooth. Like I said, it has been this way a long

Since a few months the engine of my 156 SW 1.6 is running poor from 1750 to
2500 rpm. If you try to run it at an constant rpm, the engine is not running
smooth (NL: de motor houdt in) and at idle the rpm varies from 800 upto
1300.

What is the sensor for on the rear view mirror on a AR 166 ?
I thought it was to sense daytime and night-time and auto adjust the ICS
screen colour but the ICS screen colour changes when you switch the head
lights on. - can't find anything in the handbook.

well I post this for a friend of mine whose MAF sensor on his alfa 156
105JTD is broken.
One dealer said the piece alone woul cost around 120euro, and he went to his
original dealer and it cost him 310euro incl. a half hour of labour (work)

Being a new owner of a 156 I'm starting to learn all the delights of
owning and driving an Italian car, but one thing that's really bugging
me at the moment is as regards putting petrol in the car.
I've tried at 5 different fuel stations, but everytime the same thing

All,
I am fairly new to the Alfa world - bought my first used 156 1.8 petrol
(t reg - 1999) about 3 weeks ago.
A strange thing I have noticed however, is the uneven acceleration I get

Thought I'd ask the audience for some advice before I leap in with my
screwdriver !
Both front windows on our Alfa 164 (2.0TS) intermittently stop
working. The  nearside blows the 30A fuse occasionally, and the

Ciao a tutti, sto per compiere i miei 18 anni e sarei intenzionato ad
acquistare la 147...non me ne intendo moltissimo di auto, ma ho sentito che
stanno facendo dei buoni sconti...Avrei bisogno di sapere qualche consiglio
e parere in merito...che ne pensate Voi..!!??

I'm just wondering how easy it is to remove the spark plugs on a 156 V6? I
gather you have to remove part of the engine to gain access but it's not
obvious which part from looking at it. Has anyone done this? It has been a
simple job on my other cars, but the Alfa is in a different ...

Asked the price of an oil change in my local Fiat garage today - 2.4 JTD.

Is there gold flakes in the oil, and the filter made of silver   !!
