I’m clinging to the premise that after all these aches and pains, there will be a lengthy period of time where my GT will be free of ailments! Story time 😂 I was driving home from work yesterday, and noticed some white smoke coming from the rear. I was worried that it was coming from the...

I had the tyre pressure warning light today and text in the central display saying check left hand front pressure. It was down at 25psi (needs 32psi). Pumped it up and all other tyres ok. I travelled about 1 mile and the warning light went out. So all ok. Also, an inspection of the tyre for...

Watching Police! Interceptors! Cops! With Cameras! Stop! the other night, two goons were spotted lobbing litter from their car. A few nee-noor, nee-noors later, and they were h’apprehended, me lud. After the usual tussle over whether the car was insured or not - a matter upon which the driver...

Hi, changing the brake pads I realised that with 15k kilometers (about 10k miles) the inner tyre was completelly weared. So, looking for solutions I´ve read about adjusting the toe at 0´ but nobody gives more information about if it really works or not. And really the idea doesn´t seduces me...

This just popped up on the dash. I toggled to My Car and all the four tyres show the correct pressure level, but one of the values is yellowed. And the warning won't reset. Is there a way to manually make teh warning disappear?

Hi Warning came up on dash relating to tyre pressure monitoring system. Checked pressure and the opposite one on same axle was 5psi less than other. Inflated it but dash warning still on. Does it correct itself or do I reset it somehow? Not much information in hand book.

Help please - this is very confusing for a new owner in a car that has done 700 miles... The tyre warning light came on and the display shows the four tyres showing 2.0 at the front and 2.2 at the rear. On the display, one of the rear tyres has the '2.2' illustrated in a yellow block. The other...

Anyone experiencing excessive rear tyre wear on their Alfa 159 saloon? Last 2 tyre replacements and they are going off really quick, tyre pressures correct, but firstly go off on the edge then the rest. Is the car heavy on the rear in bends? Both sets have been 2 types of Goodyears.

:disappointed: Hey all, I'm getting some really bad tyre wear on the front of the car. The inner front right, in particular, is bad - as you can see in the image. So, some background. Got the G - no obvious issues on any tyres. Dropped it on Eibach and B4s. 20mm spacers rear and 16mm spacers...

Does anyone have a decent recommendation for tyre pressures on a 166 2.0 TS on 17" wheels? Today I replaced my front two tyres, they had pretty bad inner-edge front wear. That is classic tracking / alignment trait, however got it all checked & the alignment is pretty much fine. Suspension etc is...

Mito just had its 2nd MOT and had a couple of advisories for rear brakes and discs which are both binding, and front tyres going bald on the inside edges. I’m after recommendations for which parts to source? Mainly the discs and pads as there’s so many makes I've never heard of! I don’t want...

Hi all, I have noticed that when I reverse out of my driveway and turn, my Veloce makes a rather obvious tyre rubbing/vibrating feeling which is audible and can be heard/felt within the car. Not even full lock is required for it to act this way. I am turning the car whilst either crawling out...

Does anyone have the factory fitted tyre pressure monitoring system on their 159? I'm interested to know more about it and if it works like the modern ones I've seen by picking up the wheel speed and comparing it to preset values.

Having been told, after the service, that the Giulietta's tyre pressures were out and that they had been reset to what I thought I had them set to I think my old cheapo gauge needs replacing. Can AOers suggest a suitable, reasonably accurate, tyre pressure gauge that won't break the bank and is...

Please call me an idiot. Didn’t see the rock protruding onto a Cumbrian mountain road and ran over it. The front n/s tyre burst with an impressive bang – none of your pathetic hissing punctures. Praise be to Alfa for the spare. I’d still be there if it had been a tube of splooge. Middle of...

Is it me or are very low profile tyres more hassle than they are worth? Sure they look good, but due to the awful state of the roads I find myself stressed whilst driving and often going slower than I should be due to worries about buckling or cracking the wheels. Then there is the ride...

Hi guys, Just wondering if someone can enlighten me as to why the Alfa has a tyre pressure placard requiring a higher pressure for the front wheels compared to the rear tyres - when carrying a full load of people or cruising on the freeway. Some other makes of cars (my sons Astra in this...

Hi All Mrs. V’s 2015 MiTo Junior has just been in for its first National Car Test (NCT) here in Ireland and it turns out the tyre valve stems on the two front wheels are leaking and need to be replaced. Not a biggie, but before I get them replaced, a question … does the MiTo have tyre pressure...
