Hi All just thought I'd share my recent experience with the my previously fault free GT, it's a '07 Blackline Edition bought for my wife about 8 months ago. All my mates thought i was mad and asking for trouble buying a Alfa but a late model car, nice condition, nice spec, full MOT for £750...

I know it has been discussed before but I thought I'd post this as most info is on front door and looks scary, time Intensive and expensive. I took the plunge and did a DIY fix for the recurring puddle on my Sportiva 170 G. Only took 1 hour or so and was not scary at all as it turned out. The...

So I had a problem with my 147 JTD 16v 140hp. The standard "MSCF failure" follows with limp home mode. The problem only occurred during full power acceleration in 4th,5th or 6th gear. Some times it happened and some times not. If it did not happen I could feel some steppines in the acceleration...

So a while ago I posted about how my Brera subframe was starting to show rust and was in dire need of fixing before it would become too late. Today took it down to the guys at Autolusso who swapped my rusty subframe for a almost new looking refurbished one. We noted the lower front arm wishbone...

“Live” spider sorted It has taken a while but my spider is now normal, problem was when I connected the battery with no keys in the dash symbols lit up and fuel pump primed, I could put in the keys and start the car but it would not turn off despite removing the key, disconnecting neg on...

Hi all, i am normally in the 916 or GT section being the owner of several of those ...but a friend is looking for a fun small car and has asked me to help source a Mito... I thought that i would ask here as you can't do better than an enthusiast owned, well loved car that has had all the...

Replaced thermistor and display now reading somewhere near (to within 1 to 1 1/2 degrees ). No new mirror or expensive stealer required - cost me £5 and half an hours time. Unfortunately had to buy a pack of 5 thermistors so if anyone wants to fix same problem, P.M. me and for £5 I'll supply...

If anyone is looking for a 147 GTA I have one available which is looking for a new loving owner. It needs a replacement front wing as it is creased on the arch; it might possibly be repairable by a good panel beater as its not rusty. The front end needs respraying due to bad lacquer peel on the...

Rear light misting sorted - an annoying problem which like most I have treied to sort by re-sealing the edges well after removing the misting effect by using a hair dryer down the various lamp opening and leaving over night I noticed the Fog reversing light has two slots at the rear so I...

those of you that have been following the saga will Know that I recently had built and fitted a hybrid turbo, spec was exactly the same as Damien's (ALFADOIT) spec as having been in the passenger seat of his car I was blown away by the power and responsive nature of his set up. my car had...

For a while now I have had a rattle when going over the odd pot hole in the front nearside suspension so I had a look and found that the top wishbone had very slight play in it It was ok just cruising quite as a mouse. so fearing an Alfa Bill I thought that looks fairly easy I will give it a...

Thought I would report on my GT's leaky boot problem. What started as a little drip onto the lining under the rear o/s cubby hole in the boot turned into a puddle in all this rain. Boot stripped out and hose applied (where's the rain when you need it!). As with some earlier threads, the leak...

Just thought I'd post this pic of my finally sorted T1 20V SW. Still a handsome car, what do you think? Only issue… thinking of upgrading to a 159??? Alfa Romeo 156ti 2.4 20v Sportwagon Pictures, Alfa Romeo 156ti 2.4 20v Sportwagon Images, Alfa Romeo 156ti 2.4 20v Sportwagon Photos, Alfa Romeo...

Hi folks, For all those people having issues with Blue&Me not booting, or only booting temporarily after disconnecting the battery - my solution was to buy a new Blue&Me unit on ebay (making sure the part number was the same as the one I removed) and voila Blue&Me is now working fine again...

Hi, Given that most 166 owners need to work their way through this sorrow I thought that I would share my experience plus where I got it fixed, where I got the part and how much it cost. As for the experience ... well you know what to look for but just for the record. 1) Slight loss of...

Last week my keyfob refused to unlock my car. Details explained here in last (#46) post http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-147-156-and-gt/174092-manual-alarm-disabling-with-a-key-2.html#post5639409 I searched this forum for an answer and frankly could find no straight forward solution. Lots...
