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...

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...
