Yesterday I changed one of the small light bulbs that
illuminates the speedometer. Quite an easy process,
just 3 screws and two connectors to disconnect.
Only trouble is that now, after remounting everything,

Hi,
Not been around here for a while.  
I'm reconditioning the rear callipers on my 147 and I've hit a small
problem.  I can't remove the main piston seals, I've managed to tear

From Alfa UK.

Hi everyone I'm new to this FORUM, so I apologise for this request which I

CHEERS

Just got my hands on a beauty that has been well kept by its previous
owner.I do wish to kee pit in just that form.Can anyone out there
recommend a no fuss dealer I can rely on for both orginal or used spares??
Much appreciated.

yesterday when I approached my 156, I noticed that someone has forced
the lock by pushing a screwdriver or some other pointy object through
the door panel. This is now the 3rd time this happened in this car...
I know it's a common way of forcing the locks of a 156, but since

My 156 has suddenly developed a problem whereby the front lights do not
work. The full-beam operates correctly, and sidelights, but not "normal".
I have checked the bulbs and also fusebox, anyone any suggestions?
TIA

I have a 156 (X reg = 2000) and I tried to use it on the weekend only
to find that both of my car keys don't seem to be able to turn off the
car alarm. It's not the key batteries as the chance of both keys being

My basic question is: should my next car be a GT 1.9JTD? :-)
I've driven Alfa's all my life. My current car is an Audi TT though..

(I just wondered if this is a typical issue, before I start looking with

I purchased a brand new Alfa 147 jtd lusso  14 months ago.  Last weekend my
boyfriend said I could do with the wheels rotating as the fronts are now
worn.

Dear Alfisti,
The Weber'd 1750 Spider is starting to push some oil out the tailpipe... blue smoke in wisps after
a long run at speed. I suspect worn valve guides as I didn't replace 'em at the last rebuild (Dec
'99 IIRC).

Two very bad accidents happened yesterday and the day before on the
same spot in Athens, Greece.
In the first an Alfa 147 driver running at 200 km/h inside the city!!!
lost control of the car which killed one person waiting at the bus

OK, I'm not even sure if "turbo lag" is the correct terminology here, but
it's my crude attempt to describe the feeling when you pull out at a
roundabout in second gear, underestimate the approaching cars speed, grin
sheepishly at the driver of the oncoming car who resolutely ...
