  1. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Dear Alfisti, I am looking for one or more problems for my Alfa Romeo 156 1.8TS. Yesterday I took a bend very enthusiastically, to the right. In the middle of the corner with a lot of pressure on the outer suspension (Left side, when inside car) I heard a huge bang in the middle of that...

  3. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi there, My X reg 156 2.0 twin spark sportwagon's engine has failed with what looks like serious bearing failure. The local garage is doing a investigation just to see what the extent of the damage is but it doesn't look hopeful. The car is in pretty good nick, steering arms done...

    Evening folks, I'm after some friendly advice regarding a suspected diff failure…. I pulled out onto a dual carriageway this afternoon, in first gear, put my foot down and BANG! I lose all drive and the car jolts a couple of times quite violently as I come to a stop. I turn the engine off and...

After many months hassle with a type s civic 2.2 Ctdi i was looking for a replacement, on autotrader using the filter options i had a budget of around 5k.

  7. Alfa 164 & 166
    Morning and a (Happy) new year. I was driving home at around 1:30am down the A30 and my rear window effectively exploded. It was very loud, and glass is now spread over the A30 near Chiverton Cross and my rear parcel shelf / seats. The timing could have been worse as I had just dropped off some...
  8. Alfa Giulietta
    I have just got back from taking a mate on a test drive in my G. During a bit of enthusiatic cornering in D mode, whilst accelerating out of a tightish bend at about 35mph there was a loud bang from under the car. Not sure what it was, I looked in the mirror and I couldn't see anything bouncing...
  9. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    is the noise coming from the 147's suspension!!!!!!!!! Not sure if its front or back, but the rear arms, bushes, links have all been changed. The front upper bushes changed and there is no movement from any of them when a pry bar is used on them. Changed the exhaust rubbers as some were...
  10. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    It has taken a while to get used to the 1.9 TD engine after smooth and flexible V6 petrol engines in Mazdas. One thing I have found a bit worrying is the occasional stall when pulling off or reversing, accompanied by a loud bang. It sounds really quite dramatic, although the car restarts...
  11. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    Hi all, Car's been fine, no probs at all, for the first few weeks of my ownership. I've driven around 700 miles in it without a single issue. Over the weekend, when driving down a dual carriage approaching lights, I stuck it into neutral and heard a lot of light scraping/ticking and -...
  12. Alfa GTA
    History first ....5 months ago my pride and joy of getting a 3.2 GT at top price with full main dealer service history and using it for a pitiful 6 months turned :cry::cry::cry: into a major disaster...it threw a conrod..yep major big bang :confused: something that throws your senses into...
  13. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    Loaded the trusty GTV up to the max for a 1500 mile road trip (Brighton to Isle of Mull) last week. She didn't miss a beat but it was a bit too much for one of the rear springs (yes it was my side - still carrying my winter layer...). Anyway, rear tyre scraping inside wheel arch when I go over...
  14. South Africa
    So I'm now a statistic. Pulled away gently from a traffic light on Victoria Embankment, wet road, driving gently, on my way to a tender briefing with a client running 20 minutes early so not rushing. Bang, no drive. Pushed the car out the road, observed the oil pouring out under the car...
  15. The Classic Alfa Romeos
    Hello all My engine decided to drop its guts on the A38 yesterday at 60mph, so id like to guage opinions on what may have caused it, and where to go from here! What i know (which may be irrelevant).. The engine has always been a bit noiser than i think it should be and i was on my way to the...
  16. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    Evening... An issue has raised its ugly head it would seem... And I need the collected wisdom of the board to help me diagnose it... Turning right today, from a stand still there was an almightly clonk from the front end (felt like the drivers side, but hard to tell). Wasn't doing anything...
  17. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Well, a really naff end to the day. Pulling onto a dual carriageway cam belt let go at about 6500rpm, lots of rattles, dipped the clutch and pulled over as soon as I could, but I'm thinking huge damage. So, Alfaholics of the world, what do you reckon? Would it be cheaper to grab a second hand...
  18. Alfa 147, 156 & GT

  19. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Just picked up the car from the dealership after getting the timing belt changed under warranty and while driving along the motorway heard a loud bang and then the VDC failure warning light came on. Did not see anything on the road that I might have hit so was a bit puzzled. The car continued to...
