Good afternoon Alfaholics, I have an itch to improve the ride comfort on my 147. Currently, on Bilstein B4's paired with ST Suspension lowering springs(-40mm/-30mm). 17-inch wheels with 225/45/17 Reinforced tires. Pre-facelift, 103KW, 1.9JTD. The front, while very planted, makes the front of...

OK so the horn stopped working on my GT. For a wee while it only worked if I pressed a certain bit of the steering wheel, but now it's totally silent. Checked the fuse, no issues. Relay looks ok, no burnt contacts. Read through some other posts on this forum and suspect the problem lies with...

Recently Bought my 2010 159ti and I was thinking of getting it remapped. The car currently sits at 70000. Is it worth it and where would be the best place to go in central/north Scotland? I'm also wanting to upgrade the exhaust but have been told by some car friends to upgrade the air intake as...

Whats up people, Newbie here. Just bought a first edition Q2! Been driving a Lusso 1.9 JTDM for a year or so now.... Got it remapped at angel tuning.... Im wondering if anyone knows of any decent maps, or any mods that are worth getting etc! Just had to change the gearbox mount bushes, both...

Hey all, I have a 2015 G Sprint which i am massively pleased with, but am somewhat confused regarding the MultiAir specs / options. So far the standard 150hp is fine but i cant help but lust for a bit more. However, all of the remap / tuning box options seem to be based on the 140 / 170 specs...

Hi Guys so I have seen many people on the forum making points about the Novitec box and it's settings and how it effects the car performance. So I contacted Squadra Sportiva who have now taken over the Alfa portion of Novitec to ask a number of queries as to how the box performs and what setup...

Hi all, I am newbie round here, and on the look out for my first GTV (having had a 156 previously some years ago). I have a couple of questions about specs that I am hoping the knowledgeable folks gathered here might be able to answer. I see that some V6 P2's have a 5-speed and some a 6-speed...

Good day all... Recently picked up a 2006 GT JTDm, I have wanted one for years but always had company cars.....now that's not the case I decided to jump in and must say I am delighted with it! The previous owner hasn't looked after it well at all, so I have some work on my hands...

Hi all, I know this has been done to death, but please bear with me...:rolleyes: I've been doing plenty of searches and reading with interest people's experiences of the 1.9 JTDm engined 159 and in particular the M32 gearbox. I've read that many owners experience problems at 50k miles...

Hey guys, been wanting to lower the car for ages now but haven't got round to it , coming from the dub scene I was used to a slammed lupo on coilovers, I've seen some epic Mitos abroad on air ride, was just wondering if anyone on this forum is running this set up or if anyone knows any places...

Basically I need front brakes, the pads that I have are fine (well they are very hard so only really work with heat in them) but the discs are very worn. I understand there is a Powerbrake upgrade kit for these cars, is this something worth investigating, anyone had experience with fitting...

Hi all, bought my first Alfa at the weekend, a diesel GT Cloverleaf. I literally couldn't be happier with how the car looks, I think all GT's look stunning and I'm actually looking forward to cleaning it again. Just a couple of small queries that I'd like to clear up if anyone can help...

Hi all, Firstly, complete Alfa newbie here - have searched the forums and there's some fantastic info...excited to learn more. Just bought a 156 '03 2.0 JTS - hardly paid anything for it but it seems to be in pretty good shape all round. Have a few quick queries though. - No service history...

Hi everyone, I've spent a while now searching for my first Alfa and I really am taken with the Cloverleaf, to the point where i'm pretty much ready to pay the deposit on a 2010, "10" plate with only 16000 miles. I was just wondering about a few things that are, i'm sure, total newbie questions...

Need advice please:- 1. I have a 2009 1.6 JDM Mito and the pollen filter warning light keeps coming on. Is it something I need to do urgently (will a delay lead to further problems)? Also, is it easy to replace or do I need to take it to a garage? What can I expect to pay for part and for...

Hi all, Ive been thinking about putting some BBS RS's on my S1 Sprint for quite some time. Im sort of new to all the wheel terminology, but will 15 inch 4x100 fit on my car or will I need adapters? Cheers Cam

Hi Guys, Since buying my Ti I've noticed the ride is pretty cosseting and have no complaints about it. The suspension does however seem to be easily overwhelmed when going over yumps at slower speeds than in my E46 BMW Msport. The car feels very front heavy in these situations and seems to...

Hi Guys, When i collect my 159 2.4 Ti qtronic this week I'm thinking about getting a dpf & egr delete + remap just for reliability sake. I don't particularly want any more power due to extra loads & stresses on the engine. My local remap specialists told me they use the same map for extra...

Hi, My speedo is not working on my S3 and so I have to ask some questions...please :) 1. I take it, from looking under the hood, that the speedo cable comes from the gearbox to a sender unit box near the windscreen? 2. Any instructions about refitting a speedo cable, or checking if the current...
