hi. is there any way to fix the dead pixels on the 164 3.0 dash display?, nearly half of mine have gone out, of course it looks pretty bad, the clock can't be seen at all, and the heater increments aren't all there on both sides.

Hi guys It's sad that the first post back on the forum after a few years is the possibility of scrapping my 159ti but... Has anybody found a relatively inexpensive way of fixing the renouned "security protection system not enabled" issue Car very dead.. No lights on dash except for the error...

Hi Has anyone come across a problem where the the Third brake light dim and a few LEDs are dead. Do I need to replace all the strip ? Anyone know how to remove the strip from the spoiler Cheers

So, only about 15kms out of Sofia, en route the 435km trip to the Black Sea town of Kiten, the engine spat the dummy at 130-140kph. There may have been some prior noise, but I had the window down and the radio on, and didn't pick it up. Anyway, trucked to my Alfa service and instant diagnosis on...

The entire cluster is dead - so dead in fact that the fuel and water needles couldn't even be arsed to drop to zero. No illumination either. Checked the fuses (39, 42 and 49) just in case there's separate power to them, but they're fine. I'd also hoped that maybe fitting a new stereo a while...

Hi to all, I have an Alfa 147 of 2008 5-doors. A strange problem appeared recently. Suddenly, rear windows and front and rear courtesy lights started to function from time to time, and after some days died completely. I had blinking odometer but when they died the blinking odometer stopped as...

As above, recently came back from a 3 week holiday to discover the battery was flat. Got it started, been fine the last week. This frosty morning driving to work, 70mph, radio switches itself on and off, followed by a long list of warning lights (abs disabled, hill start disabled, air bad...

Hi all. Bought another 156 SW (04 facelift) recently. Done a lot of work to sort out a lot of problems but one is proving a little harder to sort. Car has no alarm. Previous owner says it was disconnected in the search for a battery drain which turned out to be the connect nav phone module (...

Bit of a conundrum here. I have an Afla 159 2.2 JTS Lusso which suffered a catastrophic engine failure a few weeks ago and is beyond economical repair. It's been sitting outside my house while I waited until I had time to do something about it. I looked at scrapping it but couldn't bare to part...

Got into it this morning, put the key in, lights came on, pushed the button and everything went dead.no lights etc, had to open the drivers door and close it again to get it to respond, but again when pushing the start button it goes dead. Any ideas

I'm worried this is finally it for my 1.9 GT (2005). After my daily hour commute, I pulled up to a junction and the engine died. Said VDC failure and Immobiliser failure, and just turned over and over. Had it towed to my mechanic, who thought it was the engine ECU. He says he has fitted a part...

Hello, Yesterday after a short walk came back to my 159 and it didnt start. Starter spun a little and after that dashboard went off. Tested battery - all ok. Then found out that fuse 03 (electrical steering lock) burned out. Replaced it and dashboard went on. But still no start. I can hear fuel...

Although I've had it a matter of weeks (as discussed on this thread http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/other-marques/155404-fiat-punto-1-2-16v.html )! Some goon in a Focus ploughed into the back of me at traffic lights coming home from work last night, pushing me into a Beemer 5 series in front...

On the way home on the 11th August 2009 some silly lady driver decided not to follow suit withe the rest of the traffic and instead pile into the back of my 147. My 147 Her Golf I took one look and knew that was game and the insurance agreed. Still on the bright side the paid out £1100.00...
