tractor

Even when my car is on the motorway, under acceleration, it sounds like a tractor. I'm used to this noise when the engine is cold, but not when it's been warmed up. Additionally, when starting the car first thing, it vibrates heavily, sounds like it's just firing on a few cylinders. I understand...

Hi Guys, Wonder if anyone can help me, I have a 1750 Alfa 159 Tbi, due to a pothole on the terrible roads in Bury and some wear and tear I suspect my left rear spring snapped. I took it to National Tyres as I needed a quick turnaround and they were the closest garage that could get the parts...

can anyone help out my 159 has started to sound more like a tractor than a V6 ? i know its partly down to injectors needing a clean but can i also hear the dreaded knock?

Hi There, Twice over the past 8 months I have had the same problem when starting my 1.9 Ti Sprotwagon (58 plate), diesel. I insert key and press the button, the engine starts but sounds like it is only firing on 2 cylinders. The car vibrates and sounds awful thumping and shaking. I press the...

Hello guys. My beloved 147 has started to sound like a tractor for the first 5 seconds of start up in the mornings, or after leaving it for a couple of hours. Does this mean the variator is on its way out? Thing is, the cambelt and water pump was changed at 96k it is now on 101k (previous owner...

I'm considering going back to a GT (Blackline if possible). I need to know what MPG I can expect. I am a bit of a sipper and have been managing to scrape 39/40 out of my 2.4 159 Ti at the moment, but the car's just too dear for me and I could do with getting the money (what's left) back out of...

I think I need help. I've suddenly had an urge to share tractors with everyone. Actual agricultural tractors for like ploughing and stuff. In particular I have got rather keen on the International 674. Did you know there is a place that restores them - have a look here: International 674...

The call of a Brera S is severely tempting me at the moment, so I might sell my current Brera (2006 2.4 Diesel) which I call my 'tractor' S due to the mods listed below. Of course this is silly after spending so much getting it just right (eg I just fitted a brand new aluminium dash for it as...

Just popped upto the shops, coming home there was quite a strong smell of diesel smoke inside the car. I havent put any diesel in since Monday so I know its nothing I brushed against, wondering if theres something going on with the exhaust or is it coming through the air vents?? Anyone had...
