147s

I asked myself this question after ploughing through the grass sideways, crossing the gravel trap and bumping the guard rail at Bedford Autodrome on a rainy day recently. :titanic: On the bright side, I managed to find a good headlight on ebay for £15 and changed it myself, but the bonnet and...

Hello all. A new boy here .. I wish to replace my faithfull 03 model 147 Lusso, thus I have been surfing the online ads. I haven't seen any Face Lift 147 with a sunroof. Could anybody tell me if sunroofs were an option on any of the Face Lift models? Thanks in advance Peter

Interested in seeing how much they used to cost when new. Interested in both pre-facelift and the facelifted models. Going to Germany in a few months, thinking of selling my car, adding some cash and importing something - but in order to know how much the import taxes will cost, I need to know...

Watched a video recently and fell in love with the sound of the 2.0. A friend had the 2.0 TS 145, and it did sound great but I don't recall it sounding this good. Either way, looking through some classifieds and it's very hard to find a manual 2.0 TS for reasonable money. I'm guessing...

I'm more of a e30 bmw guy and i know plenty about them and the kind of nice touches you can add to them without going over board. I know nothing about these 147s other than some of the problems I read about before buying. What kind of styling options are there, like subtle little touches...

Hi A friend of mine has decided to return to the Alfa fold and is currently looking for a 1.9 jtd engined Alfa - preferably a 147 but may also go for a 156. Price c 5500, so probably a 2006/2007 car? I'm not familiar with the jtd engines, my own experience only being with the petrol engined...

i'm after some inspiration for subtle mods so lets see what you hvae to offer :)

Need a few parts for my 147. Tried the scrap yards and not one of them has all I want, surprisingly difficult. Looking for: Front bumper Rear Bumper Driver's exterior door handle Indicator (drivers side) 2 X Wing liners Ignition coil

Hi guys, the heated seat switches have died on my GT (suprise suprise - seams quite common!). I've seen someone selling some switches from a 147 they are breaking. Does anyone know if these are the same switches and will work in the GT? Thanks!

...Zastava 750, aka Fiat 600, slightly redesigned... Produced from 1965 to 1985, on 18th October, actually my birthday... This one is Viper styled :) :)

hi, was just wondering whether all 147's have pollen filters as standard? And where would i check to see if mine needs replacing?

After standing in Supercheap auto for an hour, opening boxes and measuring with a vernier, I have found a replacement for the filter on the 147. Probably will do other models like the 156 as well. RYCO Z543. If you already know this, ignore me:)

just looking for images really? i'm not provoking chavtastic thoughts from the witty amongst you, but i'm just wondering if anyone has seen something cool on a 147? adaptations of an upside down seat leon cupra are probable .. and 18 quids aren't much to throw away if it looks a bit rubbish ...

Hi, ive been looking to buy a new car and have seen quite a few 147s for around £2000 with about 50-60,000 on the clock, compared with other cars of the same price they seem fantastic value. I am new to alfa romeos and would like to know if buying one is a good idea or do they regularly break...

had this on the computer for a while so thought i'd post it.Me and my mates 147's,one manual,one sele.

Hi, does anyone know if there are any 0% finance deals on used 147s? I thought I'd found one but it's already gone :( ...if anyone can point me in the right direction, please do! markoos ps, mods - should this be in the classifieds or is it okay here?

Hello All, A girlfriend of mine wants to buy a 147 Lusso. She's been told to go post 06 because they were overhauled in 05 to "rectify the electronic problems".......:confused: is this correct? Just sounded like another urban tale to me - can anyone shed some light? Thanks

Hey all, I'm just wondering and I can't seem to find anything about it, but is there any way of telling the difference between the 105bhp and 120 bhp 1.6 147? Without the obvious of driving it :P Ta, Matt

I feel somewhat lost in a sea of 147s at the moment, new as I am, I feel a strange need to show people I care about the Alfa, not just a car that goes from A to B. I like the car as it is, no mods, no stickers or badges, no whale tail or flaming exhaust... Just a moan, I will get used to it...

On my trip into work this morning I saw 5 of the buggers, what's all that about? I normally only see one, mine. :cry: I'm losing my individuality
