My MY18 Veloce has developed a knocking from the driverside rear suspension when going over bumps. Have had a look (as much as I can without being on a ramp) for a broken spring but can't see anything obvious. Need to get it into the garage for its 3rd year service anyway but anyone else had...

I bought this Facelift 147 2006-2010 bumper pt.no 156051362 2 years ago from a German seller to replace the rather scuffed original on my car. It's brand new, factory sprayed in black, never been fitted to any car. There is no damage and not a mark on it aside from two tiny 3mm edge surface...

Hello everyone! I have problems with the rear right side caliper. It needs to be changed. Problem is, the original part cost a fortune here in Norway and is pretty damn expensive elsewhere too. So I thought I'll buy a "pirate" part. But which one? There seems to be 2 different types around: -...

Tried to remove it this weekend but it's stuck, violence isn't working so any pointers appreciated! The two locating loops are free of the plastic sockets but it's caught on something under the base, the squab is slightly forward and it won't drop back down into the (broken) plastic sockets...

My GTV and Spider have between them needed 3 rear wheel bearings replacing for their last MOTs. I paid to get the first one done and did the last couple myself after some really helpful advice on here. It is fairly straightforward so here’s how... First of all tools. You’ll need a Jack , axle...

While driving last night I started to hear and feel a dull thud from the rear of the car, as I am still waiting to get the rear suspension work done I had some depressing thoughts before I had a chance to stop to check. Turns out the rubber mount on the right side of rear silencer had snapped...

Anyone experiencing excessive rear tyre wear on their Alfa 159 saloon? Last 2 tyre replacements and they are going off really quick, tyre pressures correct, but firstly go off on the edge then the rest. Is the car heavy on the rear in bends? Both sets have been 2 types of Goodyears.

Hello everyone. I was doing brake fluid change today and front brake hoses and came across deterioration of something with the rear shocks. Is it just the top of the dust boot cover finally giving up the ghost? If so, does it need replacement urgently or can it wait 6 or so months. How hard is...
