I have a 2005 GT 1.9JTD. Had it 2 days and the engine light came on and it went into limp mode for a minute or two. Diagnostics show turbo boost pressure high, and the garage said it's recently had a new map sensor so it could be the turbo pressure sensor or ecu, although a common fault is the...

UK number plates may be axed by the EU: Proposals that will see 'common colours' and 'ID tags' so vehicles can be tracked are condemned by critics | Mail Online Makes sense to catch all those foreign drivers flaunting local laws. But I'm sure it'll mean, "Brussels 'ands orf are reg numbers...

Previous MOT 'advisories' are now FAILS, according to Daily Mail (!) report yesterday. That's a shame, coz my '05 facelift 156 TS 1.8 has had a history of air bag light on for a few months, then disappears for a year or two, then back on for a bit, then off for a bit, and so on. Sadly, it's in...

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year ! Over the last couple of weeks I have had a warning light flickering on the dash, more so at higher speeds (50 - 70) than at low speeds. The light itself is a little orange lightbulb with an exclamation mark in it and is directly above the green light that...

Driving to work this very cold morning in my 2003 Alfa 156, the on board computer flashed up the message 'UCS inactive' - Go to Dealer.
