Regular readers may recall that I have had an ongoing issue with erratic excessive free travel at the brake pedal. And, that I've had some success in reducing this by increasing the friction in the rear caliper pins (to minimise the rear caliper body 'flopping' around on the pins). This was...

I.ve recently bought an 916GTV 2litre TS Coupe I've fitted all belts and changed the s/plugs etc Foes any member have experience of changing from 5W40 to 10W60 engine oil. The car has covered 103K miles with no major engine noises. I would like to use the above grade of oil and change it every...

Was driving my G QV today in a traffic jam and up a hill when I popped it into 'P' and check transmission error came up. Then I realised it wasn't allowing me to pull it out of 'P' and when I turned off the engine to let it sort itself out then discovered it wouldn't allow me to turn the engine...

After a full gearbox refurbishment I noticed the clutch not fully releasing. With the car in neutral everything is free as it should be, but put the car in 1st with the pedal pressed to the floor and it slightly engages. With the car on jacks the wheels start to spin. Had a fully new clutch...

Hi all, Please remove if not allowed, or move to the right location. I did read the private sellers rules and it looks like I should post in this thread as it's an Oil spec directly related to all Giulietta's, Mito's, 4C etc... Halfords is selling the exact same oil for: - 5L = £47.99 - 1L =...

Hello, Just a quicky bit of advice please? 147 2.0L Petrol Manual 2001 90K I'm using 10/40 and have used 10/60 before (in different oil changes don't worry I haven't mixed the grades)... Regardless; Should I use Fully or Semi Synthetic Oil please? Is there a lot of difference? Given the...

Hi there, Got my MiTo a couple days ago and have noticed the Passenger side window won't go up the extra inch or two when the door is closed again. Normally happens if the electrics are off whereas the driver's side works absolutely fine, electrics or not. It's rather tedious having to keep on...

Hello , today my 159 front window drivers side will not close up completely. It goes up but stops about 1 inch short ! How can I fix this !! ?? anyone same issue fixed ? Thank you !

Guys It's a while since I need to ask for any advice - may just be lucky at the moment. However, its regarding the old lady's 147 (53 plate) and the boot that won't lock shut. Done a search and a bit of information around' but nothing definitive. The boot closes fully but doesn't lock. The...

Pride and joy over from California with full respray and everything back to its original state!! Love this motor! :) Bought it in june this year and took me 6 months to complete between two garages

As it says really, who are Insurers who offer gap insurance/purchase price cover as part of a fully comp policy? My QV is on Pcp and don't want to risk ending up with no car and a big bill......

Hi. The bloody mechanic decided to put Carlube 5W-30 oil in my Alfa 1.9 jtd (2006, just over 100k miles) although I reiterated I want 5w40. He didn't have any recollection what exactly he's put in :confused:, just hope it is fully synthetic. Would that one be ok till the next oil change? Next...

Always loved the Gt Q2, something about this special edition. So simple and classy. I really like the special perforated Q2 steering wheel, and the red interior stitching. This one looks mint. :thumbs: Damien. Alfa romeo GT Q2 diesel 1.9 JTDm with sat nav | United Kingdom | Gumtree

It seems all my problems so far with the G have originated from the boot, firstly the wiring loom went and then the boot struts/arms failed, both fixed under warranty. Now the boot popper while working doesnt pop the boot up all the way it used too making it tricky to get your fingers under the...

Hi guys and gals, I've noticed on the last couple of cold mornings that there was ice on the inside of the windscreen and windows. On closer inspection I can see that the windows are not closing fully after the the doors are closed and the car is locked. Anybody else had this or know what's...

This has now happened twice. I had just written it off as "Alfa weirdness" the first time but I am concerned now. I locked the car normally, then hours later come back and both windows are fully down. The alarm didn't go off (why not) but lots of rain got in. What would cause this? What would...

I thought I'd give my fellow Alfista a heads up before it goes on AT and other sales platforms on the weekend: This is a fully sorted Phase 2 Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24v 6speed with Q2 LSD Truly stunning in Silver with RED Interior and black MOMO leather seats. Engine, suspension, exhaust and...

folks, I need some advice. I purchased my car with the toothed bit broken on the regulator. No big deal as I sourced a replacement for £35 and it's the same with autodrop etc. as mine is a PH-2 2001 model. Now the problem is, when the window goes down, just after halfway down the slider on the...

Highest bid £5,700.00 Not quite the £40k they was looking for
