So today i just noticed my GT is sitting about two inches lower on the left side compared to the right (and indeed, lower then she sat previously) The odd thing is, my garage replaced the rear shocks less then two weeks ago, because the old ones had developed the dreaded rusty spring seats, and...

Hi, The last time the car got the timing belt replaced was at 58k miles (October 2014 with previous owner). The car has now 114k miles. I believe that the belt should be replaced every 70k miles or 5 years, isn't it? I have booked a timing belt and water rump replacement at the Alfa Workshop...

I detailed my 166 vver the weekend, a good wash, a claying, then a final deep wet shine wax. ( yes I know this is the 156 forum, but this allies to them as well, particularly facelift headlights. I wondered what would happen to the very poor milky headlights if I clayed them. Beautiful! the...

Hi all, I replaced the gearbox oil on my 2.4 159 yesterday - all went smoothly apart from a slightly rounded filler plug. I was surprised when draining the old oil that this was a dark red colour - rather like an ATF? I've no evidence of this having been changed before - is this the original...

Hi, I just wanted to put a quick post up to say thank you to those of you who have replied to any of my posts, offering advice. As I've mentioned in some of my posts, I suffer from anxiety and I've found that this has got a LOT worse since writing my last car off (which was virtually brand...

Just popping in to say Hi. I became the owner of my first ever Alfa last week when I bought a 2013 Giulietta Lusso JTDM-2. I'll be honest, it wasn't what I was in the market for initially but I did some research and went for it. I'm glad I did - I love it! Pleased I've found this place...

Hi All, had the original battery fail on my 7yo Giulietta over the weekend so have just ordered a replacement from Halfords. If you have a trade card you can get the Yuasa YBX7096 for £77.60...

As with many 159’s and Brera’s they suffer with ugly pitted or paint loss on the slam panels, here is my quick fix using some Blue Peter sticky back plastic!! The odd other spots I can paint.

I only have one of these, as the other one was damaged when I bought it. Now I have bought one from ebay, to get this working with my car do I have to get it programmed, or does it work by putting the alarm into learn mode, and adding the fob that way? Thanks in advance. :)
