i've got a 5 year old 156 selespeed. It stopped selecting gears a few
months ago and I needed a new gearbox (£1300). this sorted out the
probelm for about 500 miles, then it started missing 2nd gear. had it
recalibrated and all was fine.Recently though, when I put it into 5th

Can you give me your feed back about the neww159.

Time for a new set of rubber on my 156 2.0L. All 4 tyres (205/60/R15 V)
are hitting the wear marks. Up to now I've always used Michelin Pilot
Primacy, these being the original equipment on my year 2000 car. But now
I have the chance to try something else as the whole set need ...

Hi to all,
I would need to buy family car (baby is coming this spring), so I am
thinking of buying 166 2.4 JTD, year 2001. On first sight car looks
excellent, having just 70.000 km, no damages, engine runs smoothly. Me ex

I took the opportunity of a dry day and no grit on the roads to wash the
75, clean the interior, and take it for a run.
One problem came to light..... I *thought* the old girl was about to
overheat, but further investigation reveals that the temperature sender

As subject really, drive safe ;)

My 1998 156 1.8 ts takes a while to run smoothly on starting. I have to
feather the throttle for a few minutes and even then the power surges until
it warms up. Anyone had a similar experience?

Has anybody had any suspension problems on GT's yet? Some of you must have
done a few miles by now?
I've been considering changing my 147(2002) next spring for a GT, but 5

I'm trying to locate a garage in the Leeds / Bradford area that
specialises in servicing / repairs of Alfa cars, or if not, any garages
which are particularly recommended by Alfa drivers (other than the main
Alfa dealerships!).  Can anyone help ?

I seem to have caught the gremlins which various others have. Not having
much luck with my GTV but love it still. My indicators don't work and when
I use them there is a strange buzzing noise and the interior light comes
on. Any boffins out there who could take a guess whats going ...

A slight misfiring problem solved this morning (147 JTD) - caused by
injector wire coming loose.....
....and the sidelight bulb - had to pay dealer to change it this time as I
couldn't get the holder to budge..... my consolation for the labour charge

Does anyone know a decent auto electrician around Northants/Milton
Keynes/Bedford?
My 156 has been hit by the gremlins and the several lights have either
stopped working or stay permnamently on!!

   I've bought my 147 equipped with alarm system and now, 6 months after I
bought it (15.000 km), the buzzer when I lock or unlock the doors with the
remote control is not as laud as it was yesterday.
Any ideas what is this about?
