i am currently driving a 2004 Alfa 156 with the facelift front end however i'm a little confused, i've had a 2002 156 with the facelift interior, duelzone climate etc, but this one doesn't have duel zone climate or the trip computer, it has the same dials but they just control a digital cold to warm temp control and the fan speed no actual temperature numbers and where the screen was on my 156 is just sealed with a black plastic cover even though the dashboard looks identical, is this car some sort of import or what??

the trip computer isn't there it has the same vents etc but where the screen was before is just a plain black plastic cover with an Alfa Romeo logo on, the buttons to operate it are there but aren't buttons just plain covers, and also on the dials which on my 156 had the temp number the middle dial just has bars which indicate the power level of the fan the right hand knob shows which way the air is flowing and the left one just has a dial going from cold to hot, seems very strange to me

I'm sure the std spec of the later facelift Turismo got even lower.

So yours would be a normal std spec late facelift Turismo.

Saying that, you could also have one of the very low spec imports that come via Ireland.

yeah looks like it's had some hammer in it's time, the engine bay is filthy too, not qute sure why but i get the feeling it's been used as a work car or somethin looks like dried mud and all sorts in the engine bay, may have been used trundling around building sites or somethin i dunno, it's just used as a courtesy car now at my local alfa specialist, don't think they've had it long i've not seen it before, probably got it cheap

My 55 plate 156 JTD Turismo has single ventilation system, not dual, and no trip computer...

Less to go wrong!

It was UK supplied by a dealer in NW, can't remember where exactly, not a grey import...
