Tried this on the detailing forum but to no avail...thought I'd try it here! Forum search didn't really highlight anything at all. I've got a question regarding the mesh on the front end of the Brera (and 159?). I think this is the first part to get dirty and really lets the rest of the car...

Right hand side blanking piece is missing on my Brera. Anyone have one?

Hi all, hope someone will be able to help me with this. After the engine blew up 18 months ago I've finally got my 156 jtd working again, and I thought I'd get the sticky gearbox issue sorted before MoT (tomorrow, haha!!) as the stick wasn't returning to neutral (seems quite a common problem so...

My trusty chamois has died. It was old, but soft and lovely and I miss it. It finally tore in half today when I tidied up the garage and it had got itself wrapped around a circular saw blade. What a way to go! Now, I've used one of those big microfibre towels before and it was useless. Just...

The electric aerial I bought from cluffy is working perfectly and looks so right on a 90s car. Unfortunately the rubber grommet that fits in the rear wing has split and looks a bit untidy. Would anybody here have a grommet they would be able to sell? Thanks guys.

Hello, As always I greatly appreciate any help/input anyone can provide - great forum! Wonder if you can shed some light on this one: My phase 2 GTV V6 has developed a slight rattle. First noticed it when I started from quite warm when I was fixing something else, a slight rattle on start-up...

I'm the proud owner of my first Alfa. A 2003 facelift 156 1.8 T Spark. I'm really happy with it but I do have one slight problem that I was hoping somebody here might be able to help me with. It seems like a great forum & the best place to go for anything Alfa! The car came with a hands free/...

Hi guys Before I take a hammer to this cursed lid thingy has anyone any suggestion how to get it to work efficiently. I have now taken to pushing the button and lifting the lid with a butter knife!

Does anybody know the actual purpose of it??? Is it just sound suppression or does it have an effect on performance?

Any idea how to remove the petrol filling hole ring from a 33? The pipes are all out, but I can't figure out how the plastic ring is fixed in place... I'd rather get it out without breaking it :)

There's a lot of discussion on the OBD diagnostic readers in various threads in the forum, think I might splash out and purchase one, might be useful, just one stupid question - where the flippin' 'eck do you plug it in :confused:
