Is there a proper bracket and extinguisher for the Giulietta? Not some spurious part but a genuine alfa one?

Hello All, (this may be abit of a novel) I'm abit of a noob and this is my first post. Technical jargon will go over my head so any help would be greatly appreciated but layman's terms would be preferential. The story and journey begins back in October when I purchased my 159 Ti TBI with just...

I can hear the throttle fluttering in the throttle body. When i disconnected it I was able to idle my way home. I have no diagnostic tool yet, so I dont know it the problem is the throttle potentiometer at the pedal end, or the throttle body. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Help needed guys. My mates got a 156 and he just can't get it start. He reckons the fuel pump is priming but no fuel is getting to the engine. He's tried the inertia switch and it was up but he's pushed it down and still nothing. He's changed the pump relay, cam angle sensor still nothing. Any...

I have an issue with my 147 1.6 tspark. I have previusley owned a 147 and 156 tspark 1.6 and this new car i have feels done on power. The car itself idles well, but splutters when cold when applying throttle. I have schanged the MAF for a known good one. Also on my computer it shows bank 1...

My 156 decided it was too cold and windy up in newcastle last night and set itself on fire in the carpark at 5am in the morning! i was half waken up by the non stop car alarm screaming, thinking to myself, whose bloody car is it. got up, looked out of the window, couldnt believe my eyes. i...

Code light wouldn't go out, engine would not fire. The answer was the ECU power up relay (£8.50 from Alfa). There are two located side by side on a relay bank under the plastic cover of the F/O/S wheel. One powers the other which in turn powers up the ECU. An easy check if you have the same...

Pulled over on the hard shoulder of the motorway after smelling burning plastic..........

Has anyone heard of MiTo's cathing fire?:cry: Saw this on ebay today and wondered if it was a result of a collision or sudden combustion :eek: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2010-Alfa-Romeo-MiTo-Lusso-1-4-Black-DAMAGED-/190461037495?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c585ccbb7#ht_2019wt_1141

Hello all, I am new to this site but have found it a great help already and hope some of you can help me with this problem I have on my 156 V6 2.5 2000reg. I replaced the alternator recently and after completing the works the car has developed what seems like a bad miss fire between 2500 -...

Sad to report the demise of a 156 on the M6 at jnt 1 Southbound this afternoon. When I passed the front had burnt out but the driver was safe; anyone on here? But it wasn't as bad as the Focus that was well ablaze on the M25 just past London Colney tonight, flames were 15 feet or so in the air...

Hi, Having a few problems with starting my 2 ltr spider most of the time! Sometime's it just fires straight up but most of the time it takes a few attemps, it usually goes if i wiggle the injector wires or unplug the switch just below the injector rail which sits on the inlet manifold just above...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knew what size fire extinguisher would be adequate for putting out a car fire? If nobody on here has any idea I'll ask one of our Fire Risk Consultants (I work in risk management) but would rather not as their explanations tend to go on and on and on and on...

My pride and joy caught on fire the other night, Looks like it started in the dash. Noticed it on fire and attacked it with the garden hose but to no avail had the fire fighters rock up after about 20 mins and put it out. Complete write off, As I said looks like it has started in the dash and...

Before we all go starting a panic.... its not the timing belt. I know it was low on fuel last night when I got home..... and I park the car facing up a drive on an incline. When I went out this morning she won't start. I put a can of petrol in and still no joy. Tried pressing the fuel switch...
