4th

It's the battle of Agincourt all over again.

Hi, I've read a lot about 4th gear "swarf" fixes if you can't get it into 4th gear, but what about if it pops out of 4th gear? Mine works fine until about 2 miles down the road (i.e. it's fine when cold) and then it starts popping out for 4th. Changed the gear oil, no noticeable improvement.. Am...

Good morning all Here's one for you... After spending loads on wheel bearings and brake calipers amongst other things, my late 2007 159 1.9jtdm has decided to make strange noises in 3rd and 4th gears. It is whining constantly regardless of revs - almost grinding. I suspect the worst but would...

Following our fantastic meet in June, our next event will be on Saturday the 4th August. The April and June meets have both seen fantastic attendance with approximately 100 cars of all Italian marques and from modern daily drives to classics. In June we had an 8C, 2 De Tomaso Panteras, and a...

First a little bit of history. It's a 81 kw 8v JTD 147, 2002. - 2 years ago, IC hose snapped - replaced with metal pipe For the past 8 months, car was throwing MCSF errors (sometimes they'd just appear and go, and sometimes they'd stick for a day or two) - Vacuum hoses melted three times...

Hi all , I have been offered a v6 gtv that is currently stuck in 4th gear..... I read one post about a sheared roll pin in the selector? And that it can possibly be replaced with gearbox in the Car? Can anyone provide further detail on this before I take the plunge? Kind regards Peter

E-Type v DB4 GT You know what they look like by now but feel free to add pictures.

Any of you Northern folk planning on going? http://www.aroc-uk.com/events-diary I thought I might pop along if the weather's looking OK. I spoke to the organiser and it's going ahead this year. Just pay on the day and apparently the car park attendants have been primed to direct Italian...

Hi all, From South Africa. Recently(today) found this group, have always loved Alfa Romeo since I cut my teeth on my first 80's era Giulietta. Last one I owned was a 155 ts and have recently looked at a 1998 Spider ts. Still not 100% sold on this particular spider though. Going to sleep on it.

Time to organise the next Killarney to Moll's Gap & Healy Pass meet. We'll meet up in the Tesco car park (east of the town) in Killarney at 12pm for a chat & maybe a quick bite to eat before departing sometime between 12:30 & 1pm. There's a Costa Coffee behind the Tesco. From Killarney...

Hi all I'm in need of some help! My car won't go into 4th gear, every other gears fine just feels like it's being blocked by something. Took it to the garage he checked the gearbox and nothing was wrong that end then check the linkages and they are worn down as the gear stick was very wobbly so...

Hi All, Now that my VPS fault looks like it is cured I can look a bit further in perfecting the 159. One thing that is obvious is a whine in the gearbox but not in 5th and 6th but 3rd and 5th. In all others it is fine and apart from sound in those gears. Sound disappears when engaging the...

http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/south-africa/374465-mito-qv-issue-13.html Above is my thread, the car is on its 4th MA unit. However just under a year of repacint that 4th unit the Error P1063 pops up, the car has been using the selenia oil and is changed every 15k km. What i did notice on the...

Ok.. What a farago of a night... First the engine management light comes on... And stays on... Then the little darling won't go into 4th gear... Then when I did get it in.. Jumps out again! The box has already been attended to by previous owner... This isn't looking good, is it? Series 3 GTV JTS...

I noticed something weird today. I was in D and was pushing my G for a bit of fun and down a long straight I held it in 4th and let the revs climb. At around 4,500 RPM I noticed the boost meter showing a loss of boost (I could hear it too). On the boost meter it drops down by 2-3 bars. I'm not...

156 JTS 2.0 Whenever I put the car into 4th it pops back out once the clutch has been released and the gas has been applied. All other gears are still working fine. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing it? Do I need a new gearbag or is it likely that the linkage or clutch is at...

Driving back from my daughter's yesterday I was suddenly unable to select 4th gear (all other gears working fine), it feels as if something fairly substantial is blocking the movement of the gearstick in that direction. However this cleared itself eventually and I was able to select 4th for the...

Hi guys, Looking at options for 4th year warranties, although the dealers all want to seem to rope you in with a servicing agreement plus RAC cover (Which I don't need as I have it already). What have other people done for 4th year warranties? I can't seem to find anything from Alfa. Does...
