Hello everyone, I have 156 GTA that is fitted with BOSE from the factory of course. Before the car was mine, the previous owner had ripped out the amp and left a clump of wires hanging in the boot. When he was selling the car, it was asking for the radio code which he had assured me was in the...

So, I recently bought a 2001 ts spider, it was an mot failure that had seen better days but has been well looked after in the recent past. the roof was inoperable when I viewed it but to be fair the clamshell motor was missing! I fitted a replacement motor today and gave it a try crossing...

Hi, i have a big problem on my recently bought alfa gt 2.0 jts selespeed, it doesn't start engine. Major problem now is that the car is in first gear although displays shows N. I know because we tried to move the car pushing it, without results. So, not being the gear in N position doesn't let...

So I decided to replace the auxiliary belt on my 156 (1999 2.0 Twinspark with AC), since the belt was very cracked and clearly slipping when I had a look. The new belt I put on is 1970mm long (the old one is 1975mm I think), but it squeals a lot on start up, but soon goes away. Now and then it...

Hello, lately I've been working on getting my old engine from my old car, into a new car. Both 156 pre-facelift. Everywhere I've looked, including a few posts here, recommend dropping the engines down rather then lifting them out. Which is what I thought I'd try. I've done an engine swap once...
