Just about to step into the world of fatherhood!!
Last night i attempted to put in my Jane ISO-FIX base and car seat.
I found it a massive struggle to actually get the base locked into place. The anchor points seem to be set way to deep in the seat. Gave up trying to get the thing out last night as well. Anyone had the same issues, or know of any tips for getting a base in and out quicker?

cheers

I hope that the reliability is an improvement, as I had issues with the 156 every week but thats part of the thrill of Alfa ownership, Who knows, I might return to the fold one day, when my insurance policy matures. ]]> curlygrey http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-147-156-and-gt/238882-alfa-156-replaced-by-bmw-530-touring.html Alfa romeo alfasud 105ti cloverleaf retro reg eel 770y http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/latest-ebay-alfas-for-sale/238881-alfa-romeo-alfasud-105ti-cloverleaf-retro-reg-eel-770y.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:20:06 GMT Image: http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/130429865922_0.jpg ... £0.99 (0 Bid)

Can i get some help with my 147? I posted in the right section but go no reply, so ill try here.

I keep getting a warning and beeping (Jesus the beeping!!!) about a brake light failure on the right hand lamp. i checked the lights and they work 95% of the time. anytime im driving i always check the reflection in windows and cars behind me to make sure the brake lights/ indicator work. only rarely would i see that the right one doesnt.

is it a loose connection? wiring problem?common fault? any help would be appreciated, bit of a noob when it comes to electrics!

Congratulations on a great forum. I’m new to Alfa Romeo’s though, but shared the passion for some years now.

My cousin owned a 156 Sportwagon (2001, 2,5 V6) and was crazy about it. I’v always wanted one myself and decided to look for one now.

I’ve found one and to find one with “lowish” mileage is quite rare. The one I’m looking at has 71000km on and looks good.

I stay in JHB and is thinking of buying it but can’t haul my *** down to Knysna go and see it.

What do you guys think? Any other advise (good or bad) on buying a 156 V6 would also be appreciated. ]]> South Africa Numen http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/south-africa/238874-156-sportwagon.html Happy Birthday guiliasuper! http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/way-off-topic/238873-happy-birthday-guiliasuper.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:21:26 GMT Have a great day Andrew and good luck to the boy too! :) Have a great day Andrew and good luck to the boy too! :) ]]> Way Off Topic Firecracker http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/way-off-topic/238873-happy-birthday-guiliasuper.html 2009 Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.4 TB 155bhp Veloce 3-Door Hatchb http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/latest-ebay-alfas-for-sale/238872-2009-alfa-romeo-mito-1-4-tb-155bhp-veloce-3-a.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:10:12 GMT Image: http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/250690297447_0.jpg ... £12,490.00
