Hi all, Just bought my first Alfa :) really happy with it, got a 159 2008 with 55k miles on the clock it's a lusso 2.4jtd saloon. Just a quick question, ive looked everywhere and cant find an answer, my Glove box light and Sun-visor Lights don't work, ive tried with the engine on lights on...

I’m sure I posted this question earlier but it seems to have disappeared? The glove box light is stuck on and I assume the switch is activated by one of the hinges? Has anyone an idea on how to access this switch, a “how to” or step by step? I removed all the screws I could see inside the glove...

Hi guys, Been searching for days and cant seem to find any information on how to remove the complete glove box out of a 2011 159? I want to fit a single DIN head unit into it, and I want to remove it to trim it a little so it will squeeze in. Thanks for your time.

Being a fairly new owner of a GT im curious to find out what people use the the two glove boxes in the boot for, I havent anything in mine and am strugling to think about what I could use them for. :confused:

Ok, here we go - Drving down the M1 on Sunday and for no reason, wot so every my glove box opened. When I pulled over I notice the nut had broken at the back, called all the usual suspects only to be told they do not stock these. So does anyone have a lock for the glove box for a 1971 spider ???

Just got a new one, now I need to remove the old one which has no handle mechanism, its been sheared off and thus the lid is closed with no obvious way of removing it. Anyone have any hints or tips for this?

I have just obtained a NOS Map light ofr my S4 spider. It plugs right into the wireharness and works fine but I haven't a clue where it mounts in the glove box. Can anyone tell me or describe where it goes (top, bottom, left, right)?? Because it is an auto on/off with the holder and the way the...

hey all! i have a '99 alfa 156 and have a leak coming from under my glove comp. its getting worse now that it leaves a puddle of water on the floor of my interior. i went to the mechanic 2 weeks ago as he said the pollen filter was blocked. but turns out they were wrong.could there be a leak...

the other day the handle on the glove box came off in my hand. it had felt a bit loose and flimsey recently, but as the car has been well looked after, i was surprised that it would just come off as easily as it did. The screw holding it in place disappeared. Does anyone know how to fix it...

Hey Everyone Really simple question... As you know, a lot of Alfa interior parts come off by pulling them, 'cos they are just clipped on. But often, the clips break off when you do this! (Eg the little black cover on the inside of where the door mirrors are!). Anyway... I need to unclip the...

Hey All I'm about to buy an iPod compatible head unit... what's the best way to install the iPod in the glovebox? Do I need to remove the glovebox (how do I do this?) and drill a hole through it? Or are there gaps inside it that I could make use of to run the cable back to the head unit from...

Can anyone give me advice on how to remove the glove box on a '98' 156. I've searched for threads relating to this and can't find any help. I need to get to the dodgy throttle cable connection that lives behind it. Thanks ya'll

My other thread (I-pod related) reminded me to ask the following: 1. Can the cup holder and coin/card tray be swapped over? 2. Does anyone else find the glovebox absoloutly useless? P.

My 147's glove box handle fell off this weekend.I have done some searches on here,and have noticed that it is quite a common problem. Managed to fix mine without much modification. The inside and outside of the door(lid) are bonded together so no dismantling there. I just measured the distances...

Hi all you Alfa experts, my glove compartment light isn't going out when i close it. Any suggestions?

Hi all - new owner here with a bit of a simple question, The handle to my 147 glove box came loose recently, and I'm trying to reattach it. Does anyone here have any experience of this, or removing te glove box in general. I can see that there's a screw to insert into the back of the handle...

Another problem - bloody Italian technology, eh? The silver handle has come off the glove compartment. There does not appear to be an easy way to replace the handle as the scren comes from the other side and is on a very tight spring. Has anyone successfully repaired this, or am I talking a...

how small is yours? ;) i can barely get a box of tic tacs in mine without them falling out/preventing it from closing - maybe alfa were being very literal, and it is only for gloves :D
