I have a 156 as described above that is coming up for a cambelt change.
I am considering doing it myself......have done various others in the
past. Are there any special difficulties associated with this? I am
presuming it can be done with engine in....does it need tilting to get ...

Where can I get a GTV rear exhaust box at a reasonable price, self fit, any
ideas?    Preferably Hampshire, Sussex or Internet - Mail Order.

Any Alfa dealers in Northern California?

Just put my 147 in its garage... turned on the 'follow-me-home' headlamps
(by flipping the headlamp stalk as if to flash the lights) - and heard a
really odd noise.  Sounded almost like a noisy fan (one with something
stuck in it).  Stopped when the headlights went off.

Ideal for winter commuting.

I've just bought a 156 tspark 1.6 (yr 2000) . Once its warmed up and I
slow down or stop at lights the engine is rev'ing up and down, when
idling it goes from 1000revs to 1500+ and chugs when I drive slowly
10mph.

Hiya,
I'm an Alfisto since my first car, have a couple of Alfetta GT's and a 2600
project car, and quite recently a 147 jtdm has joined them (replacing my
Golf V - hey, nobody's perfect :-).

The passenger footwell in my Alfa 147 (51 plate) is completely soaked.
Granted it has been raining very heavily where I live recently but the
rest of the car seems fine. It's only me in the car at all times so I
only noticed it this morning when I could smell the dampness. It's

   I have 2.5 V6, year 2000. Usualy in 2nd gear from 5000 to 7000 rpm I
need 3 seconds, but sometimes car needs almost 10 seconds to come at
7000rpm. I have K&N sport air filter and no katalysator. Had anybody have an
issue like mine? It runs normaly form 500 - 4500rpm, but ...

Can someone please direct me, where i can find online, the
maintenance/service shedule for 200,000Km service , for Alfa R 164 3.0L
or can someone provide, list of items that are required, e.g. change oil &
filter etc

Did you get the emails about the 75?

I purchased a 2nd hand AR 166 (year 2000 model). How can I find out
where it was manufactured? Italy?

I'm planning on a slight deviation to my planned workload tomorrow to
call into the Alfa main dealer in Swansea (they've been an Alfa dealer
for many, many years, so might actually have a clue about 75s).....
What d'you think the odds are on Alfa still being able to supply full

Just got a battery for my 156 from Halfords & asked for their £5.00 to fit
service - at the time they couldn't fit me in, so I figured - how hard can
it be? and tried the job myself.
My modest set of tools were not sufficient to get to the bolt securing the
