in fact a conversion for all the colours would be useful right now.

Just a pure pipe dream which will probably never come to anything ever, but inspired by this thread I've been looking at 116 Giuliettas. I've got good memories of them from the 80's but according to howmanyleft.com there's only 2 left on UK roads so the chances of getting a RHD one are minimal...

Hi, Just bought my first Alfa - Giulia Veloce - pleased that I did. A terrific drive and good looks too!

Hi all. Anybody recently done this rebuild? From what i understand it isnt a majorly difficult thing to do but somehow no one seems to have done it before (if i check the topics over here at least). from what i inderstand the engine is the same, only the stroke differs. So i was wondering...

Hello Today i buying a leather interior to my 2006 alfa 159. So in short time i will begin my interior project but my rear windows i manual and front are eletric. Is it possibel to convert the rear to eletric.

On our MiTo there's only one reverse light, which is on the passenger side (RHD Australia). The other side is the rear fog light. I'd like to convert the rear fog to reverse either by a wiring change or just using the rear fog dash switch. We have little need for a rear fog light where I live...

Hello folks, My name is Stephen, I recently emigrated to the UK from Canada and as a consequence had to find a new car. Canada has not seen Alfa's for a long time, I seem to remember seeing a few in Toronto in the 80's but none since. With that in mind I was not looking seriously at Alfa Romeo...

Hi everybody. My name is Chris and I live near Portsmouth, recently semi retired and a new Alfa convert. For the last 25 years I have been driving various mid range executive cars, (Audi, BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, Saab etc.) as my business demanded high annual mileage. They were all highly...

Hey all, First time Alfa owner from the UK here! I've had a string of BMWs for the past few years, and fancying a change - and always loving the look of Alfas, I've switched over to the Italian side :thumbup: Just over a week ago I picked up a GT, with the 1.9 JTD lump under the bonnet. I'm...

Hello, recently i got these error codes on my alfa: P420 & P430, both are catalytic converter errors, so i checked the voltage of the oxygen sensors but as far as i'm concerned everything looks fine?

Just hours after the following pic... The dual mass flywheel (DMF) on my 1.9JTD ('03 156 Sportwagon) spat the dummy. Clutch seems okay (bite no slip) and had been replaced 20k Miles earlier (DMF was pronounced okay at that time). I'll replace it all for peace of mind :) This isn't a question...

Hi all, After a few years of BMWs and MINIs I have joined the Alfa Romeo club. On 1st March this year I took delivery of a brand new Giulietta in Black. 5 months and 6000 miles in its the first car that as yet has not been in the shop for work! Compared to my 2012 116i which I owned from new...

Evening all, I am looking at some overseas GTV6's and they are obviously all measured in kilometres, I was trying to figure out how to convert them to miles per hour. I imagine either the speedo itself or the speedo drive in the gearbox needs changing, or maybe both? Does anyone have an idea at...

Hi, has anybody tried to change the minimum possible parts and convert 8V 1.6 boxer to 16V 1.6 or 1.7 boxer? when looking both engines, looks like that only engine heads with valves and camshafts, plus the belting of course, and inlet manifold are ones requiring change. presume that EEC needs...

Hello everyone, as the title says it. Is it possible to convert a manual GTA into selespeed? What parts are required and could they be purchased?

Does anyone know whether you can make an adjustment with the original headlights of a RHD Giulietta to be driven permanently on the continent ( meaning stripping each headlight down and unscrewing the central barrel and rotating it ) I've done this with 'Hella' units before. I want to prepare...

Hi, Are there existing parts to convert hydraulic followers into mechanical ones for TS 16v engines ? We'd need a part to replace the adjustment system (finger), and we'd need a shim on the 7mm stem. Something like on the picture below (taken from here) Or did someone make the conversion by...

Well since buying my 02 plate Alfa 156 the fiancee has wanted an Alfa. Yesterday picked up a very nice 03 plate Alfa 147 of eBay. Only cost £139.00p, ok no tax or MOT but that's booked in for tomorrow morning. 100000 miles on the clock, few marks on the paint work but she loves it. So we are...

So I bought a 2006 1.9 JTD Mjet Coupe for my wife this week for valentines day...now I'm in love with this car! I hope I get some technical help here. The car is in excellent condition but I love knowing the ins and outs of it

I've got a database which I set up in OpenOffice Base, probably the worst database software ever written! I want to convert it to Excel (.xls) format or, at a pinch Access (.mdb), but I can't find any way of doing it. Logic says save or export it as a .csv file, but there doesn't appear to be...
