After more than 10 years of ownership and 108,000 miles I think I am finally losing the battle of the dreaded 'stone-chips' on the beautiful black bonnet of my 159 SW. From a distance it looks great, the whole car still gleams. But up close and you can see the tell tale white specks, 'repaired'...

Hi guys, so a local garage to me who last year did some major work on my wifes old x5 dropping the whole rear sub frame and replacing brushes and brake pipes today have refused to replace the bonnet cable on my alfa guilietta. A couple of weeks ago I booked my g in after phoning for a quote and...

The 147 M Jet TJD 1.9 8V engine looking for the pressure sensor electrical plug to try and stick the box MOD in line. Problem, not 100% sure which one is pulled. I think it's the one at the back of the engine on the common rail, in the middle, although as said not 100%. an ass to get at one LOL...

Hi guys, bit stuck! My bonnet release has failed, lever inside car does nothing! Have detached from lever and tried to pull cable to get a release but nothing! Is there any tips or experience anybody has had with this? Or any ways to manually release elsewhere. Have an MOT due this month and...

Hi, everyone. I have been around this site for a long time, but things have been ok for me problem wise for a while. I previously owned a 147, then a 147 collezione. Then i treated myself and bought a low mileage 2 year old Mito QV. Its been great, i have drove it on the continent many miles...

What are you guys fitting these days? I have a 147 GTA and both front and rear need replacing. I've found some OEM bonnet stays on partsworld https://www.partsworld-uk.com/collections/alfa-romeo-147-spare-parts/products/bonnet-stay-strut-147-gt and some on the sgs-engineering website...

Id like to upgrade the gas dampers for the bonnet and rear hatch to carbon fibre ones. Anyone know if the stock Giulietta are a standard size used by other vehicle's/models etc as i'm having great difficulty finding out. There's plenty on the market for Subaru, Mazda, Toyota etc so was hoping...

Is it possible to adjust the bonnet or wings so the shut lines are even. I've recently had the cambelt and waterpump replaced and I think the garage may have removed either the wing(s) or bonnet although I cannot assume!! It's annoying me that it's not how it was. There seems to be more of a gap...

Hi everyone, haven't been on here for years, the last time was when i had a 147 with a few problems. Really hoping you can help again, i now have a 172 mito. This morning i pulled the release handle and it snapped, no problem i thought. I will just pull the cable. No chance there, so i am now...

Hi all, I have had a 159 for around 4 and half years ago. About 3 years ago it started to have that dash rattle behind the instrument binnacle when travelling over certain speeds and especially worse over certain road surfaces. I tried liberal dosing of the dash trim gaps with silicone...

Hi all I picked up a used 2014 Mito recently and noticed a large paint chip in the bonnet. I drove the vehicle in the rain for the first time last week and noticed the wiper arm hitting the bonnet. A grove has also been worn in the wiper arm so must have been doing this for a long time. I have...
