tough

Hi guys!!! I'm on a constant debate... I love mi 146ti, it's immaculate, mint condition. I've fitted it Eibach springs, side-skirts from the Qv and wheels from the Junior version (although i keep the original side-skirts and wheels at home). But... I'm always tempted for the classics.. and now...

Hi guys! I'm Francisco, I'm a faithful reader of the forum but with a little participation. Just wanted some opinions on this tough decision I'm about to make (or not!) I'm an Alfisti, of course. In the family we had lots of Alfas: 145 1.8, 146 1.8, 156 2.5, 156 'Giugiaro', GTV916 and even a...

Hi everyone, I'll head on over to the welcome thread and post there soon as I get a chance but am going to view 3 159 Tis this weekend and would appreciate the benefit of some knowledgeable sorts if possible! I've done a fair bit of reading and lurking around here so am aware of cambelts...

Hi everyone, have any of you heard of Tough Mudder? I'm doing the Scotland event in 4 weeks with a group of friends to raise money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation in Edinburgh. The charity is close to our hearts as my friend's baby boy was born 3 months premature. The support him, his...

Hi folks, As some of you know I'm doing the Tough Mudder Scotland event on Saturday 14th July. Tough Mudder - Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet It'll be a crazy challenge for me, never done anything like it before, so I'm training hard for the 12 miles and 28 obstacles! :eek: I have...

Guys, i'm a little stumped... I changed the CAM Belt Kit, Water pump and Variator on a 1.8 TS for a Forum member (virmanih) this week, typical diesel noise on startup. All went timed up with block set TDC with dial gauge, turned car over buy hand great stuff. Start the Car let it idle to warm...

Nice 36C temps, wife knocks the radiator against the curb, leaves it to drip for a while, finishes her shift, drives some 6 miles into the town next doors to pick up the kids, doesn't stop the engine, drives back home and after about 5 miles starts to hear a tapping noise, notices the temp is...

Hi all. I noticed today that second gear is a bit crunchy or difficult when cold. It's only second and only when cold..totally goes away when warm...any clues??

Over the last week, had problems engaging reverse in my GT. Is this a clutch problem or just due to sub-zero temeratures here in Scotland? And ideas?

Hi Guys! Having a bit of a mare.... 'Trying' to change my discs and pads today. Wheels off, and the top nut holding the calipers on is out but the bottom nut wont budge. Been down to Hellfords once already and got a 19mm 1/2 inch socket (as i was using an adaptor before - i thought it would be...

I have a tough choice to make, don't want to have to but money restraints are getting tighter and somethings got to give and sadly the misses and myself slowy are pointing towards the 166 going. Now the options are to either sell her or break her for parts! :( :cry: Selling her I don't think I...

OK here's the situation. I have a 156 16v JTD which I love. Handling needs attention as I have the soft Turismo setup. Power and smoothness can always be improved. Realistically I can only afford one this summer, I need you to help me decide which to go for: Remap or Suspension upgrade? Ie FSD...

Just looking at one of these in duty free. Powered by usb only with no AC adaptor. Will it work with B & M? Only £98 too. Cheers, Simon.

It was my Mums birthday today so I took her away to the seaside. We even had a picnic! As always, I had a camera with me so I thought I'd share a couple of pics with you. The first picture is the view we had while we were having our picnic.:cool: We then moved along the coast a bit and...
