Hi everyonr.I need a little advice.....I recently bought a 147 ti turbo diesel,2007 reg.Now its only done 48k miles,serviced 2 weeks ago etc but I think there may be a problem!It struggles to start first thing in the morning and there is a very small amount of light blue smoke too,but only on...

like my description? I've attached a photo :biglaugh: anyone know what it is? and is it easy to remove? cheers!

My fellow Alfa-owners.... I've been thoroughly enjoying my Ti...however there is one slight issue (possibly nothing). I seem to have petrol smell that hangs about the fuel cap area after really hard driving ie full throttle bursts. I have replaced the tank,fuel cap and the carbon filter via...

Hi, apologise this might be in wrong place but can't post in classified yet. I am after a part number for the beige circular plugs marked "Airbag" that slot into holes on mid and rear pillars. My 159 recently had a gearbox rebuild and it seems one of the guys working on it might have needed...

Best £6 I've spent in ages :thumbs: I bought a 2.4GHz 10m range wireless mouse, they're bloody brilliant :D and the dongle is tiny :wow:

Arghhhhh! :cry: Do I live in a medieval tar pit... or does this affect everyone? I seriously think I could spend 24 hours rubbing them off and still find more.

After cleaning out the throttlebody and idle valve recently, starting up the car I noticed a HUGE plume of white smoke out the back (from the tons of carb cleaner presumably) however what concerned me was the small plume of white smoke from the engine compartment. Investigating today I took off...

Hi everyone. I would like to pay respect to Tiny van Niekerk . He was the gentle Alfa Giant here in Klerksdorp for many years. Those of you who knew tiny would understand what I mean. For Tiny it wasn't about the money, the workmanship or even the Alfas themselves.It was about the personality...

... I was enthusiastically buffing out the wax I'd applied on the rear end and caught the 'V' on the 24V with the cloth. It came away leaving the black plastic adhesive in place on the car. Very simple question is whether simple super glue will suffice to reaffix it (since I'm sticking the...

Hey everyone, It is with great sadness that I announce someone drove into (head-on) and wrote off my Spider a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't my fault at all, and that's all the more disheartening. I'm on the lookout for a Spider V6 (any tip-offs appreciated) but in order to raise money in the...

Hello, need some help with the pics below

My 1.6 Twinnie had its oil changed cca. 3k miles ago. I havent bee checking it for a while (as I have noticed that it stopped using oil, after the belts were done). Yesterday morning, I checked it and it was very low (though zero degrees cold engine).I put a liter of Selenia in it yesterday...

My 2004 156 2.0 JTS tends to let out a tiny amount of white smoke when it starts up. It only lasts a very small amount of time- but all the same, it does make me worry. So I thought maybe its a head gasket problem, as I know that the car had an engine rebuild after a cam belt failiure (done by...

Hi all a week into owning my 2ndhand 159 I've now started spotting all the small scratches on its lovely black bodywork. None of them (so far) are deep enough to catch my fingernail in, but long enough to notice, esp with the light grey undercoat showing through. Of course, having bought into...

In rainy days, realized a little leakage occurs (sunroof curtain is open) whenever I put in my hand to the space between the roof and the sunroof through backwards. Is this wetness normal? Is there a discharge canal present? Any advise please? How can I improve the sealing rubber of the...

I have the original style manual (1970s) door mirrors but one is missing the neoprene gasket thet goes between the mirror and the door. Can't get one anywhere. Anyone got one kicking around? Cheers :)

Braking/Accelerating - noise like tiny ball brgs rolling to & fro under seat area... Has anyone else heard this? It's like the noise the kaliedioscope makes when you up-end it, if you know what I mean.... It is more annoying than anything, and if I were a betting man I would say that it is...
