shut

Title pretty much says it all. I have a manually operated roof. This is the first week I've had the top down, and all of a sudden a problem has occurred. I can get the roof up and down using all of the release buttons, but when I try to clip the rear section into place, it just "pops"...

Hullo again! My GT has imperfect shut lines on the driver side door. The same door has a noisy check strap which I'm going to replace. While I'm inside there, are there any hints or guides on how to get the shut lines... just so?

Hi guys, I am in Melbourne, Australia and need some help please! Like so many other Brera Spider owners the softtop mechanics recently started to get sporadic. Most likely cause are the two flap motors either side, which I have ordered from the UK and received recently. I know for a fact that...

Hi all, Is it normal for the Giulietta bonnet's shut sound (i.e. when dropping from a few inches) to sound like a lump of pig iron!? I can't believe (even) Alfa would deem this as passable but guess it is! Wonder why it sounds so cack when compare date to the the door shut sound etc!

Having great fun fettling the Alfetta, one thing though is the bonnet, which won't shut. It seems to hit something hard as opposed to catching and locking. Any ideas? Thanks Rich

Hi, my boot has 1 cm of space between the seals on the boot, i loosened the 2 10mm bolts on the lock and moved it all the way up and its still the same, all the way down and it wont lock the boot at all. any tips?

I see a number of previous posts about this problem. However before I looked at the forum I spend the afternoon trying to fathom out why boot wouldn't close. Lots of slamming since I felt it must be mechanical after taking catch out etc. When the latch is in closed position it opens on the...

My car was in a head on collision with a pole which caused the chasis till after the strut bars to move to the right, left chasis rail is completely crumpled. Body shop suggested I do a cut and shut at about the pedals of the car. There is another option of cutting the front rails only and...

Hi all, I have an '07 spider and have had some work done recently to respray the rear bumper. Now that the weather is a bit better I have tried to lower the roof but after the windows lower slightly I get an error from the dash stating a temporary error and to take it to a dealer. The roof...

Hi What is the best ( non destructive :D ) way to free up this tray? It's the lower left one below the CD player Cheers :)

Well, I have always known that Alfa's pretty much have a mind of their own; it's what makes them so quirky and fun. Quite often my car will choose to start up the radio or media player just after starting the engine and even the choice of radio station seems entirely random when I first turn the...

since having the Brera repaired I've lost the label which is just inside the door piller on the shut size i'm sure it had the model number IE JTDM SV 210 written on it with the tyre pressures but I could be wrong can someone please post a photot so I can get the garage to replace ta

Chris155 Here is a follow up on my 156..... I replaced all the Red relays in front of the battery as I felt they work at a pretty high temp and they are 16 years old now and 235,000 km used. The car is fixed!!! I really want to thank you guys for your assistance. I learned a ton about the system...

hi; yesterday i was driving on a small road when suddenly i drive over a gap and the middle of the car hits the ground quite hard.. I have a LPG installation, i was able to drive (on LPG) for 2-3 minutes after the hit. But then i wanted to switch back to gasoline.. WHen i Did 2-3 seconds later...

Hello! First time posting here on the forum and I would really apreciate it if someone could help me with this problem: My Alfa 166 shut off when the motor gets varm (90). If I wait for a while (20min+) until the motor cools down it starts like nothing happened. The battery is okay too. Anyone...

Ok, so I've had a muppet moment and left the head of a watering can in my engine bay when topping up the water. Shut the bonnet fine. Realised and tried to open it but no joy. It seems be be jammed shut. Any ideas on how to get it open again? :confused:

Hi all, I have just changed the lower turbo hose after it blew a hole, but I have noticed a nasty judder when I switch of the engine, does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? I first noticed the car driving little strange about a week ago, on a drive back from London (to Loughborough)...

My PC is running slow at the moment...starts up ok...but when i click on any shortcut,it takes a good 1 minute before i can access the web page.......this contrasts to beforehand when it took 1 second !! :cry: I have to say though that once i can get the 1st page up and running,everything goes...

Came to open the rear drivers side passenger door yesterday afternoon only to find that it is locked shut. Tried the internal handle, and both external and internal one at the some time. But no luck. All otehr doors fine. Has any one had this happened to them? Had a quick search on here...
