Well, after over 4 years with the159 I found a b&m feature I never knew I had!! Changing between media stick, cd and radio always was a bit hit and miss, often having to resort to the steering wheel controls to get to the media menu and choose random or try to get the middle of the right...

...but not THAT low. 67.45 litres went into the old girl, wonder how close I was to running out. All the best Pub

Well, I've had the catless manifolds on the GTA for a while now and one thing I hadn't counted on was how much of an affect on fuel consumption all those lovely extra torques has. Ever since I've owned the car I've barely been able to average more than 16mpg, a lot of this is down to living in...

Bit bored today so thought i would try the fabled ECU reset. Net result is a ICS that wont switch on and a gearbox that beeps to tell me I am in reverse when infact I am in drive! It was all fine before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im guessing I should do the ECU reset again to try and stop the...

And which amazed me. How could I not know these things? 1) My maternal grandparents were never married. Because my Grandad had a wife in Ireland! My Gran changed her name to avoid scandal when she found out that they couldn't, but they never got married. When the divorce came through, he...

Well it was going to happen wasn't it, after over a month of happy alfa owning my first major job is at hand. The oil leak I have found the cause - one of the camshaft oil seals behind the cambelt pulleys is leaking, we found this after taking the cambelt covers off in search of the leak. The...

She was running beaute this morning. Parked up. Did a few bits and pieces, decided to nip to town, nothing. She was turning over but not firing. I had to admit defeat and call the RAC. After 10 minutes of doing stuff the guy said it was definately fuel related and asked if I'd done anything. Not...

Dear Lord, you may have heard me use your name in vain and utter profanities by the bucketload. Please forgive me as I was trying to do something that should have been the most simple of tasks but I've ended up spending the last 4 hours grazing my knucles, burning my hands and stabbing my...

Re: Man Utd vs Chelsea.... You knew this was coming!! :cheese:

Ive just been looking at Alfa GT's on autotrader and saw a nice V6. Never having been sure of the VED rating of a V6, I looked it up on Parkers. And it seems that any cars up to mid 2006 are only Band F, so only have to pay £205 road tax. After this they are Band G/£300. So what changed???
