I've already thanked Mufasa (not his real name) privately but thought to do so publicly. Couple of weeks ago, the knob on my light switch broke off and came away in my hand. I posted here in case anyone could help me out with a source for a replacement of this little plastic part. Ro.. sorry...

Hello forum thought I'd introduce myself! I've just imported a 1984 Sprint QV 1.5 from Malta. RHD Its in great condition but with a few niggles missing to get it 100% well the way I'd like it... I have owned 4 suds and sprints over the years, among others - I learnt to weld on my first car...

Evening All, Just a quick note to say hello and an apology as I'll be asking a LOT of questions over the coming months! In short I'm working with Glyndwr (Wrexham) University to build a diesel '159 endurance race car and - along with the motorsport degree students - I'm trying to soak up as...

Hi guys. Some bloke in a red gqv was tailgating me on the m1 on my trip up to milton keynes a few days ago. It was about 3pm on saturday. I gave him the alfa wave (clenched fist horizontally repeatedly moving my wrist right and left shouting you w.anka.) he smiled at me blew a kiss and then put...

Sounds GOOD lads! Alfa Romeo 4C: a tonne of promise | Autocar “I swear to you,” says the animated Italian to my left: “even wet, it will weigh less than a tonne. The steering: manual (he means unassisted). Nothing between you and the car. But I’m sorry - I can’t tell you how much the carbon...

Hi there everyone. Great forum you have here. Lots of great info about some of the most attractive cars :) I'm currently researching my next car. Current is a 2.2 Civic Sport which has been a heap of absolute crap since the day I bought it. I won't go into that here, but I am looking to replace...

Good Morning, After years of deliberation and playing it safe (mainly with the Germans) I finally succumbed to temptation and bought my first Alfa, a lovely little red number, a 156 2.0 JTS. Drove the little beauty home without any issues, gave her a thorough clean inside and out and had a...

Found this in Evo, they reviewed the Multiair in the same piece, but I found this interesting on the suspension side of it... Alfa's master of suspense Drive a recent Alfa Romeo, Fiat or Lancia and you will feel the hand of Philippe Krieff, suspension supremo. He is charged not only with...

Hello Everyone, I've been an avid lurker on this forum for a while, I became a member a while ago but this is my first post. I've been driving a W reg 156 2.0 TS Veloce since 2005. Absolutely adored the car. I'm in the process of selling it if anyone's keen. But, I've just become the proud...

Today, whilst changing my oil (3pmish), I noticed I had a blowing exhaust manifold, so in my wisdom decided to attempt to lower the manifold down clean the heads and manifold flanges and repair with high temp silicone sealant (cheaper than gaskets and alot more reliable). Well when i pulled the...

I spent some time wandering around an Alfa dealership this afternoon and came to the conclusion that I much prefer the 159 to the Brera or the Spider. I reckon that's because I'm a big saloon sort of bloke, what sort of bloke are you?

Hello every one My name is Quiz and I own a 2002 remapped 2.4 JTD sportswagon. The car has been nothing but trouble since about 2 weeks after I got it and I now know that I should consider myself lucky to have had those 2 weeks. There always seems to be some thing wrong and at the moment there...
