I need to install a manual choke on these carburetors.

love the look of the car and have always enjoyed driving Alfas.  I am

My X plate 156 has an intermittent idle problem. A couple of times whilst on
a journey it has refused to idle and instead will stall at traffic lights
etc. It will restart as long as you give it some gas and drives as normal
until the next time you come to a stop. The problem ...

I'm thinking of buying Alfa 156 2002/3. Has anyone good or bad experience

Can anyone tell me how to mount those bushes properly? I'm a little bit

Being an owner living in Gloucestershire, some of you may have heard that
the local AR dealer (Cleveley Cars, Cheltenham) has closed.
As I see it, this leaves me with two options:
1.    I can use one of the five dealers in the area for servicing, etc.

The dashboard "bulb failure" light has just started to show on my 156
1.8 SportWagon.  At first it only went on while braking, but by the
