Im new to this petrol head stuff

no its not a wind up, my question is , do you rekon that the root cause of the puncture is the fact that i riped it around a few corners and on more than one occasion drove it at *30 m** around a bend on the m40,

me and my mates checked the tyre just now and it had no obviouse holes or metal nails or wothavyou, i did go past a few accidents and some broken bottles today.

What do you think ?

and what are your thoghts on the lights and where should i be getting my car checked up from eg what are good places should i take it to an alfa specialist etc ?

Just general advice, i am very very new

I had a 1.25 ztec for 7 years since i passed my test.

That selespeed man, its got me in another dimension

i will be riding on a biscuit to work tommorow

Cable is a kkl usb type (can be had off ebay or a modified one from rarebear on here)
Software options = Alfadiag or FiatECUScan or UniDiag
Do keep an eye on that coolant level though (main suspect would be leaking rad)

where are you in Buckinghamshire?

you are spoilt for choice with indies around here, all three are dedicated Alfa / Fiat specialists, all excellent.

Days Mk - Blakelands, Milton keynes
Autolusso Edelsborough, Beds (near dunstable)
Jamie Porter (the alfa workshop) Royston, hearts.

any of these guys can do absolutely anything mechanical on your 156

if it is the rad, Kempston Radiators in Bedford can rebuild any radiator, they do a fitting service, too.
