Hello everyone Before i possibly book my car in for some more time at the garage. As you know, my car had a failed egr which was replaced by the lease company but too much damage had been done, and so the car had it's head decoked, new inlet manifold and new egr. Since then i've had the...

Not nice sweet-- radiator coolant sweet. Does this mean my heater core has gone? If so, is this something that I can hold off changing, or are there dire consequences? I'm losing about a couple of tablespoons of water each day. Oh, this is on a 2005 (pre facelift) 147 2.0 TS Thanks, -ridwan

Hello all, this is my first post, as most of the info I have needed I have found by browsing. However, I cannot find anything about my problem. Sorry if this is a bit long winded. My 156 Selespeed has started smelling hot after driving for a short distance, I have checked the oil and the water...

Hi, Id be interested to know if anyone has found any leather smelling renovater that is any good and actually smells like leather?

Hi guys Looking for a wee bit of advice and hopefully reasurance today. As some of you might remember, i had a new clutch fitted a while back and its now done about 4k miles. However, since it was replaced it smells very strongly whenever its "stressed" (like hill starts, fast getaways etc)...

When we changed the oil on the Alfa, we noticed it was very petrolly smelly. My mechanic reckons it just could be running a bit rich from cold, any other sugestions what could be wrong? Cheers, Jonathan
