sportwagon

This is my new car, she’s a 2.4 159 sportwagon Ti, and my first car at 18 years old. Picked her up from Birmingham and she’s now back safe on the drive in Tunbridge Wells. Amazing on the motorway, Absolutely hilarious fun to drive and looks like nothing else on the road

Hello Alfa heads, My 156 Sportwagon has suffered with being a bit sluggish since I’ve owned it. It is 16 years old now and hasn’t had the easiest life (nor has it had the hardest), but I’d expect a little more oomph out of a 2.4 turbo diesel. After being scanned at the garage the boost...

hi All cant see a guide or a post for replacing bulbs in the s/wagon high level brake light ( there is one for the saloon , but the fitting is entirely different to wagon) . Anybody got hints or tips for this? ive got trim removal tools, but dont know where to start. TIA Alec

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...

We are going to be selling my wife’s 159 Sportwagon as she needs a tow car to move her horses around. We have owned the car since 2016. It is a very nice car with 79k miles on it. It has been maintained by Alfaworkshop as with my other Alfa’s. Anyone interested please PM me. Hard to gauge value...

Bought a set of silver Whispbars a year ago but managed to get hold of some black ones recently. Old ones on eVilbay now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254373997229 Guy

I was wondering if there any Stelvio owners and get their feedback on how the transition from one car to the other. I am still not sure on the Stelvio or the SUV jump that most manufacturers want everyone to go to. What would you say the pro's and con's owning one. I've owned four 159...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums but have been interested in purchasing a second car for a while now, specifically an Alfa 159 2.0 JTDM Sportwagon. I've been looking around and getting insurance quotes but haven't had anything too affordable. I'm 21, been driving since 17. Had 3 years no claims...

Hi all, from the South Coast of the UK. I'm in a village called Clanfield, just North of Portsmouth in Hampshire. Joined the forum a few days ago when I picked up a 1995 156 Sportwagon Veloce 1.9 16V JTD. I've brought it as something to tinker with, different to my Landrover and old Ducati...

Been having a little trouble with it the last few weeks, some days it works, others not. So tonight I had a look at it (whilst the trim was off from replacing the rear wiper). Having managed to get it off easily enough I noticed that the plastic around one of the fixing bolts was cracked and...

My lovely 159 2.4 JTDM will fall foul of the the London pollution charge when the area is extended to the north and south circular next year. One cure might be to trade in for a TBI model. But I have a Sportwagon and I need the load space. I have not seen adverts for TBI Sportwagon's for sale...

Well, after 5 years of happy and (almost) problem-free motoring with my Carbonio black Alfa Sportwagon it seems that the journey may have come to an end. She was due her MoT at the beginning of the month so a (now former) friend offered to give her the once over for me, then do the MoT himself...

Anyone know of an aftermarket supplier for these? MoT just identified I have a broken one and main dealer want an eye watering £148.19 EACH for them. It's apparently an unique part to the model, part number 50515197...

Hello everyone, Need some advice. I am looking to buy an Alfa 159 Sportwagon, I have wished for one since the car first came out. My budget is limited to 3-4000 EUR right now. The 2.0 JTDM, 1.75 TBi and 3.2 JTS seem to be more expensive. Cars that fit my budget seem to be made with very few...

Ultimately I'm replacing the Alfa badge...... To get the interior plastic off inside the boot lid I've undone all the star bolts I can see but it's still fixed at the location where the boot light is. .. How do I remove the boot light? I'm guessing there's one more star bolt hidden there...
